Author Topic: New computer--How crappy is it? (Read 2260 times)

448 MB RAM (512-64 due to integrated)
Dunno processor, though I just know it sucks.
Nvidia Geforce4 MX Integrated (64 MB)
Don't really care for HDD space, as long as all my stuff fits.

I just bought this earlier for $600.

iMac - Mac OS X Version 10.5.8

Processor: 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory: 1GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
Bus Speed: 800 MHz
Chipset Model: ATI, RadeonHD2600

When I'm done with it, this Mac will be game worthy yet capable of work.

You must be drunk or something, I'm pretty sure you're talking about single-cores.

Everyone's going for it.

Yeah, but dual cores aren't outdated.
Plenty of netbooks use them. As long as they're still being sold it's not really outdated.
