Looking at this with 160 gb hard drive, 1 GB RAM, pentium D processor 820 w/Dual Core technology. Good way to go?   Case Citizen Username: Case Post Number: 1217 Registered: 2-2005 Posted on Sunday, March 5, 2006 - 10:29 am:        Looks good to me - if you're running a business on this thing, I would strongly suggest that you get yourself USB hard drive for backup purposes. I don't care how new the computer is, the hard drive could bail on you at any given moment... and then where are you? Incidentally, I'm assuming that all you want to do is run standard office applications on this thing, right?   Bailey Citizen Username: Baileymac Post Number: 176 Registered: 3-2005 Posted on Sunday, March 5, 2006 - 12:01 pm:        I agree with Case about the backup.. even if you weren't running a business with the computer. Backup regularly, often. I've lost 4 drives out of 20 or so office computers in the last two years.   TarPit Coder Citizen Username: Tarpitcoder Post Number: 62 Registered: 12-2004 Posted on Sunday, March 5, 2006 - 5:42 pm:        The below might be worth reading.
