The hard drive would be enough and I searched real quick and can get 2gb of memory (all the comp supports) for like 70 shipped. Heres the specs on the comp. http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/d...name=c00043812

Also not sure why the guy decided to port the white. The non inverted Incognito looks awesome. I guess he wanted something different.

Not even worth messing with?

**stonehenge** · 09-23-2010, 08:33 PM

Depends what you do on it. If you are just going to visit websites and use adb then its fine lol

It's 3ghz, no problem with that IMO just don't expect to play games or do extreme video editing or anything

MikeH · 09-23-2010, 08:39 PM

I just browse, download, use adb, very rarely use photoshop. Dont play games, dont edit anything. Hell I dont even have pictures on my comp.

Maybe I will just pick up a cheap tower. Something like this.

**stonehenge** · 09-23-2010, 08:45 PM

That is a 2.7ghz sempron (low end processor) and the one you have for free is a 3ghz P4. If that is all you do, I'd use the HP. Worst case, it takes a shit after a while and you go buy a tower but for now, why not use what you already have? If it seems slow, put some more ram in it and you should be set.

MikeH · 09-23-2010, 08:54 PM

What I will probably do. If it even still works. It ran slow as balls when my parents had it but it had a ton of shit on it and probably a virus or 2.

**stonehenge** · 09-23-2010, 08:56 PM

lol yeah tons of stuff + crap that came with it from HP + virus = POS

wipe it and install the OS of your choice without extra bloat and it should run just fine.

MikeH · 09-23-2010, 09:04 PM

I will have to look into how to reformat it and what not. Never messed with computers too much. What good Linux OS's or whatever are out there? All I really know of is Ubuntu.

**stonehenge** · 09-23-2010, 09:08 PM

Well I like Ubuntu because it is super easy to install, even Chad could do it. There is also Linux Mint, which is what I am using at home. It is essentially Ubuntu but it has more things bundled with it like video codecs, extra drivers, some included programs like GIMP (photoshop replacement), Firefox, Thunderbird, etc. It doesn't include anything that runs constantly or anything so it isn't really "Bloat", especially because most of it is useful stuff.

So I recommend Linux Mint

You don't even have to look into how to format it. When you boot to the Mint dvd, it will ask you if you want to install along side the current windows install or if you want to wipe the whole drive. Just select to wipe the whole thing, click next a few times, choose your timezone and shit, and after some install time you are done. It srsly is REALLY easy.

MikeH · 09-23-2010, 09:18 PM

Sounds pretty nice. Will definitely give it a try.

**stonehenge** · 09-23-2010, 09:22 PM

let me know how you likes

MikeH · 09-23-2010, 09:25 PM

I was gonna do it now but dont feel like switching the KB and mouse. Its a bitch to get to the ones I would have to disconnect.

MikeH · 09-23-2010, 10:00 PM

Just booted up the comp and 50494850559 things popped up. Gonna try downloading mint now.

**stonehenge** · 09-23-2010, 10:07 PM

rofl ya sounds like a virus (or 10 viruses) to me

MikeH · 09-23-2010, 10:35 PM

Do I save Mint to a disk?

---------- Post added at 02:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:20 PM ----------

Damn all I have is CD-Rs guess its gonna have to wait anyways.

**stonehenge** · 09-23-2010, 11:42 PM

If you get the version without all the extras, it will fit on a CD but the DVD one has all the goodies.

MikeH · 09-23-2010, 11:51 PM

I realized that and Im installing it now. I figured I could just download everything separately if I wanted to. Its been stuck on 94% for a while now.

---------- Post added at 03:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:47 PM ----------

just finished. gonna check it out. seems kinda like a windows/linux instead of just a full on linux.

---------- Post added at 03:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:49 PM ----------

wasnt sure if i was suppose to grab the 32 or 64 bit either.

**stonehenge** · 09-24-2010, 12:06 AM

32 or 64 doesn't matter much unless you have very specific programs you need to run and yeah it is a lot more windows like

MikeH · 09-24-2010, 12:15 AM

Ok cool I went with 32. Its installing all the 100+ updates right now.

**stonehenge** · 09-24-2010, 02:25 AM

MikeH · 09-24-2010, 02:30 AM
