Hi everyone,
I'm buying my husband a new desktop because his laptop cannot handle D3. I don't know much about computers, and I am wondering if you all could help me consider this desktop I have found on Craigslist. I am willing to buy parts to upgrade anything, because my husband can replace those. Any advice is appreciated
Here are the D3 recommended specs:
Windows® Vista/7 (latest service packs)
Intel® Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz or AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 5600+ 2.8 GHz
2 GB RAM
NVIDIA® GeForce® 260 or ATI Radeon™ HD 4870 or better
Here is the desktop I am interested in:
Specs:
Model: IBM ThinkCentre A55 9265-02U
Processor: Intel Pentium 64-bit dual-core E2160 1.8GHz, 1MB L2, 800MHz FSB, Socket LGA775
Hard drive: Seagate 320GB SATA 7200RPM
Memory: 2GB DDR2 PC2-6400 (2 x 1GB in dual-channel mode)
Video: Intel GMA 3000
Windows XP Pro SP3 with the latest updates
New Samsung Super Writemaster 20X DVD±RW DVD/CD burner
Wireless network: D-Link 802.11b/g
Wired network: 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet
Stereo sound
Original Lenovo keyboard and mouse
Front and back USB ports
CD/DVD burning and authoring software
Security/Antivirus, PDF tools, Firefox, & more
Restore DVDs included
Includes brand new IBM/Lenovo Thinkvision 16" LCD flat panel monitor
Is this a good deal, and will I be able to upgrade any parts as needed?
