You don't want to read that my nephew got a Compaq P3 1.0 GHz 256MB system (no display) running Windows 2000 for about 95 bucks from comp geeks.

I had a spare DVD drive so I added that and it now has DVD play capability.

Point? Be careful you don't spend more than the system is worth (about 95 bucks?)

I agree with Bob, Look for a good used P3 machine or AMD
you should be able to get a 800Mz or faster realy cheep.
There is a bible verse that says "don't put new wine in old wine skins" I feel this applies to computers as well. John
