I'll list the requirements school has and the computer I'm interested in. Can someone let me know if the computer I want to buy covers everything cuz I'm confused on their 3,000 MHZ requirement.
They mailed us this:
Operation system:
PC with running windows xp home or professional recommended (but later they say xp vista or windows 7 too)
Pc with 300 MHZ processor clock speed 1GHZ or better recommended
Power PC G3, G4, G5 processor 500 MHZ or better recommened
CD-ROM with speakers
128 MB of RAM 256 MB or higher recommended
56KBPS modem (broadband=DSL CABLE modem recommended)
Super VGA (800x600) or higher resolution adapter and monitor
CD ROM or DVD drive
sound care and speakers with headphone port
available usb port
Then on the school website it has this:
Pentium III, 3000 MHz or better
2GB of memory (RAM) or more recommended
Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7
The computer I'm interested in only list this:
•Intel Pentium Processor T4400
2.20 GHz, 800 MHz Front Side Bus, 1 MB L2 Cache
•3GB DDR2 system memory
has enough memory to handle today's most memory-hungry applications
•250GB 5400 RPM SATA hard drive
Store your music, videos, photos and documents with plenty of space to spare
•SuperMulti 8X DVD+ with Double Layer Support
Play and create CDs and DVDs with this DVD/CD burner drive
•Wired Ethernet; Wireless WiFi
Connect to a broadband modem with 10/100 Gigabit Ethernet; Connect wirelessly to a WiFi network or hotspot with built-in 802.11b/g WLAN (No Draft-N on this unit)
•15.6" HD Widescreen High-Brightness LCD Display
1366 x 768 resolution; Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500M with 1695 MB video memory
Additional Features
•5-in-1 digital media reader
•2 x USB 2.0 ports, 1 x VGA connector, 1 x headphone/speaker/line-out jack, 1 x microphone-in jack, 1 x RJ-45 port, 1 x DC-in jack for AC adapter
•6-cell lithium-ion battery (up to 2.5 hours)
•AC power supply included
I'm just on a semi tight budget. I would prefer to stay under $500 but to not exceed $700. The reason I'm getting a new computer is because this current one isn't a laptop and has to be rebooted every few months.
