i have a ~2004 gateway pentium 4 1.3ghz computer and a friend of mine gave me a ~2006 dell dimension 2400 intel celeron 2.4ghz computer.

does the fact one is newer and a 1ghz faster than the other mean it's that much better? i thought celeron processors were older and the pentium 4's were better. i just would like your thoughts on them. my original plan is to reformat the dell and use it and get rid of my old computer.

either way i will master/slave the two HDD's together and add my nice dvd-r and accessories to it.

thanks.

dells blow period.. BUT the celeron could be faster depending on the ram between the 2

i dont know too much about those gens of processors i only recently built a pc. but usualy with tech things newer is better.

the old one has 640mb of sd-ram, upgradeable to 1280mb.
the new one has 256mb of ddr-ram, upgradeable to (i think) 1024mb.

hmm

i would get some new ram for the dell(you can get 1 gig for like 30 bucks) and transfer that other hard drive over and call it a day. i bet you can upgrade the dell to 2g if you wanted tho

I would stick with the dell. I agree with what your doing.

The Dell is the better rig. And parts are readily available and cheap!

Max out it's RAM and it should be good to go!
