Ok so my mom says her old P4 is just too slow to check e-mail or create presentations with so she asked if i could put something together for her.
I figure this should be quick enough for internet browsing so i bought it last night. Video card is basic since the the most intense graphics it will ever display is the progress bar when XP starts up. And all for less that $700
