I need a new desktop. Largely for Jess to use for school and for thank you to be able to use.
The Dell we have now was from husband's mother in law's granddau. She downloaded crud onto it and it was totally locked up. So she got new, and we got it. 3 years ago.
What do I want to have in it? A dvd RW is nice (and in most of them). The lightscribe is probably not needed, we don't burn many cds or dvds.
How much memory? How big a hard drive is recommended?
I want to run Vista home premium, use the internet, and as little gaming as I can convince husband to do on it.
I don't really need a monitor, we have several running around here not in use. I hate storing them, but it is little enough an item as to not be worth fighting over.
Any suggestions,brands, etc??? MAC is not going to happen. All the other computers are not macs, and we need to be able to share files so that I can print with- messing with cords.
Thanks!
Susie
