Backup workstation questions
Posted: Tue Aug 11, 2009 5:54 am
I'm receiving a Dell tower with 17" LCD for petty cash. A second workstation more than anything else.
Specs:
Intel Pentium IV 2.66Ghz 533FSB
1gb RAM 533
Dell mobo from 2003/2004
nameless IDE drive
I'm looking to load Windows XP (or a stripped cousin) on it and use it mainly for office, stats, accounting, matlab type work. Am I expecting too much? I can kick the ram up to 2gb for a few bucks and that should help matlab, but what of the CPU?
Thanks.
