Hey community,
I just wanted to ask a simple question.
I have an old desktop (circa 2002-2003)
It has xp on it, and can run websites relatively slow. Like 4-12 seconds to load a page.
I currently have a gaming desktop for myself, but my dad does not, he lives a ways a way. He just needs a computer to look at amazon and stuff.
(He currently just uses a straight talk phone to surf the web, cannot view images larger than 64x64 it just shrinks em down. Its a flip phone with numbers)
Point being, he is happy with a computer period. One that loads slowly, just so he can look at guitars, view amazon.com musiciansfriend. Etc.
Here is the computer's specs.
Pentium 4 1.8ghz 533mhz
ATI RAGE ULTRA 32MB VGA display port.
Question is, he has 128 mb ram. (I am saying he has, im going to be giving him this old desktop soon)
That gpu is only 32mb.
Youtube states it needs atleast 64mb.
And its bare minimum ram.
Granted it is ddr ram, I could pick up a 512 meg stick and hed be fine.
Here is my question.
Granted it is an ati rage ultra 128 could someone tell me what kinda port that is, and what the cheapest compatible card is for that slot. I need one that will play youtube videos on 240p, and on a 640x480 resolution.
(He just wants to surf the net, and listen to music via youtube. He is going to buy a modern pc here soon)
thanks for the help
