Advantages: fast, cheap, reliable

Disadvantages: out of date style, hard to upgrade, ugly

I have had this computer for sometime now, and for an older computer this thing runs very well still.

Despite having problems with Windows, this computer still runs fast with an install of the latest version of Windows, much more then what this thing was meant to run!

This computer is also very fast for its price, meaning you get performance, reliability, and value in one nice easy package.

But for a negative the horizontal style is not near as good as the vertical style casing.
And the inside of the computer is very hard to open up and work on, and it is very hard to upgrade. And the outside of the casing is not all that fashionable.

<>Motherboard<>
The motherboard is a high quality Intel based chipset. That comes standard with a decent CPU.
And a FSB(Front Side Bus) of 133Mhz

<>Harddisk<>
Comes with a decent sized harddisk around 10gigs, which is more then enough to store all your data.

<>RAM<>
The ram works on PC133, it can old up to 512mb, but not a single 512mb chip of ram :(

<>CDROM<>
The computer I got came with a 48 times CDROM, but you can upgrade to a DVDROM.

<>Floppy Drive<>
I think all this computer come standard with 1.44mb floppies.

<>Keyboard & Mouse<>
The keyboard lasted me a nice long time, and when you type on is was nice and quite, but the mouse, on the other hand, was low quality and stop working almost right away.

Welcome to Dooyoo.

A few tips to get you started on the site: Although there's no limit on the amount of reviews you can post it's better to post just three a day then you'll find you get more reads. If you read and rate around the site you'll soon find out what should be included in a review plus you'll get known to other members which will result in them reading things that you post.

It?s always a good idea to write your reviews as though you are writing for someone who has never heard of the product, that way you?ll cover everything.

You can ask any of the guides for help with any aspect of the site and a list of all the guides can be found here http://www.dooyoo.co.uk/c ommunity/_page/advice_gui des/. They will do everything they can to help with your query.

You may have noticed that there are no capital letters on reviews that you post on the site. However, there is a fix for this and full instructions can be found at http://www.chuckleweb.co. uk/fixit.php.

La stly you can sign up for your own guest book at http://www.crosswordcheat s.com/tooyoo/ where you can chat with other Dooyoo members.

Above all I hope you enjoy it here and have fun :O) Sara
