Useable, and as such, an OK deal at $100.

**Dax_Brandy** · December 22nd, 2003, 09:14 PM

good deal at $100.. you can seldom get P3 in that price.

Heck of a deal for $100!

There was a $100 computer in my paper last week...not worth half that if you ask me.

P-133
16MB RAM
AWE64 sound card
1.7GB hard drive
4x CD ROM
Keyboard
Mouse
15" Monitor

dude..if people can get $100 for a p-133..i wonder how much i could get from stupid people for my p2-450?

**HeadBand** · December 23rd, 2003, 12:26 AM

i see people trying to sell pI's for 350 all the time but i dont think they get any buyers

**Vagabond** · December 23rd, 2003, 10:23 AM

$100 and it works not a bad deal... sounds like everyone is happy

For a 500 mhz system that's a good buy.

For what Martoch said about the 133 in the papers I'm not surprised that they sell for $100. I saw in my papers 486s with prices from $75 to $150. Hell, I'll try an ad in the papers for my Cyrix 133 box for $100.

"Nice clean tower with Cyrix 133 cpu, 64 megs memory, cd blaster kit, 2meg video, 56k modem, floppy drive, 1.2gig hard drive."

Thats a nice deal for 100$. You ask me i would have sold it for 150$ but with a monitor.

I think you could upgrade that processor and, along with a new video card, turn that $100 deal into a very decent machine.

Edit: Ok, the specs are here. It's got a 100-MHz FSB, so you could upgrade the processor to 850 MHz, or possibly a higher Celeron (check with Powerleap). You've got three DIMM slots, and can use up to 768 MB RAM (ECC or non).
