It is hilarious to me how people do not realize they are making contradictory statements. If vista was fine with 512 Mb, why upgrade? I mean, the commodore 64 had only 64k and did run fine, you could upgrade but very few people did (even tough to this day it is the best selling computer model of all times) because *drum roll* it was fine as it is.
Some of the software I use works better with 1 gig. (Under Win XP, btw.)
Besides I said Vista works fine with 512 Mb, which it does. I didn't say that it wouldn't work better with more memory.
Where's the contradiction, exactly?
All new cases I can buy locally come with power supplies, then I suppose yours was also second hand.
I suppose you live somewhere where there is only one crappy computer store then. Most high end cases do not come with a power supply.
No, my case was new. It even came with a power supply, as I previously mentioned. I just replaced it with a better one.
I have no doubt it works quite nicely, I have buyed second hand hardware for many years and know first hand that you cannot compare the prices of new items with the low prices of used items. Besides, not two second hand items cost the same, it is a matter of luck, the time you expend searching for it and how the degree of computer knowledge you have (some people think they stuff is junk just because they do not know how to use/fix it).
I bought two of them, actually...
New monitors are pretty cheap anyway, and you're going to need one no matter what PC you use, so it shouldn't really be considered in the cost of the computer itself.
