The Intel Atom 2 (a Foxconn 525) sizzled completely. I've bought only one AMD (an old Athlon) in my life. So I'm contemplating a 3Ghz-and-up AMD - for low bucks. Eh?
The (offline) Intel Atom 1 (Foxconn 330) has
been working just fine - but the keyboard sizzled.
With a new keyboard it is working just fine.
But hey - a new machine is needed.
(years ago.) Worked great. Until it no longer did (at all).
And the very ancient Celeron D (on which I'm posting this)
is a trooper - and still working at this moment.
Anybody got any ideas?
On reputable mail-oder places - not just machines.
Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated!

This website sometimes has some outstanding deals. Before Christmas they had a pretty good Asus Laptop for $300. They have desktops on specials too. This sounds pretty good: *NEW* Acer Aspire AT3-600-UR33 Celeron G1620 LGA1155, 4GB, 500GB Windows 8 Desktop PC for $179.99
Sounds pretty good - but now that I think of it, AMD APU FM2 5300 3.4GHz DUAL CORE BAREBONES DESKTOP - $217.00. 3.4GHz is FAST - ain't it? I'm coming to conclusion that if I want a fast fast, it's gonna be

Of course. Videos too. Full length movies - and all that. Gotta save all of these things - so that when the Unless I buy more, more and ever more hard drive space. Sure, I can, and do, burn DVDs - but only so much that
External hard drives aren't that expensive and unless you use one quite a bit it should last until it's about obsolete and ready to be replaced. I use one just for backing up everything when I have to reformat and for all my music. Comes in real handy for parties and you have enough music to last for a week or two continuously played... :) Got my new monitor yesterday and man is it nice, talk about night and day compared to the 17". It's also a lot nicer than the 2-20s I bought just a year or 2 ago for the other computers.
Yup. I got this 22" LG flat screen about two years ago.

I want FAST - as in FAST FAST. The following does not have any memory -
but I have a few random memory sticks floating around.
It also does not include a hard drive - but I recently bought a
'4 terrabyte' external USB drive (which actually turned out to be 3.4 TB).
So I'll buy a 250GB (or 500GB) to boot from - use the 340 TB for everything else.
some bucks bucks. But at least it's pretty spiffy looking...

I never again will buy anything smaller.
But then - my vision is pretty bad anyway...
