>VIA C3 processor 1.0 GHz
Not AMD or Intel. I wouldn't buy it, but that's me. It might be prefectly OK, if slow.
>Lindows/Linspire version 4.5
Blow this away and install a decent linux, like Xandros Home. ($60) or even Debian (free). Avoid Linspire - they have a decent system BUT you have to pay a subscription to the software library to download other programs, updates, etc. Not good.
>128 MB memory
Um, NO. You need an absolute minimum of 256 and preferably 512mb. If you buy this, try to find out what adding/replacing the memory with more will do the warranty. Acer, for instance, doesn't like mere users replacing memory. Find out the real maker and model of the unit and check on Crucial.com to see what memory is available and what the max is. |
