Hey Im thinkin about pickin up a HP that I found for sale in the paper. Its got an AMD K6-II 500MHZ cpu, 128MB's, 15Gig HD, 2x4x24x HP CDWriter PLUS!, internal modem, for $400.
I think its a good deal. Im prolly gonna pick it up on tuesday.
When I went to the lady's house (HUGE house right on a golf course, BTW) to check it out, I saw it had a cd writer in it. I said " whoa, its got a cd burner too?" She said: "Oh thats just a slot for whatever, you can put in what you want." !!!! She didn't even know there was a piece of hardware installed in that slot! :D ;)
Only downside to the deal is that the video card is PCI with shared memory. I think Im gettin a deal. Plus she's throwin in a 15" HP monitor with speakers for $75.
My question's are, Is it a good deal? Will I run into prob's installing a flavor of Linux on it?
Opinions Pleaze. The machine is only a year old.
