Upgrade my Celeron 500 system to AMD 1600+ to sell?
I've been trying to sell a Celeron 500MHz system for a long time (for more
than $100, thanks Ebay :-)) and there have been no takers. It has a good sized hard-drive, RAM, CD, etc. but I think the "500MHz" is scaring everyone away. I have a ECS socket A mobo lying around. Should I dish out *another* $35 on a used Athon XP 1600+ to upgrade the system to something someone would buy? Does anyone have experience doing that? Thanks, Mitchua |

A used system is almost worthless but people will pay stupid money for the parts. You might get more than $100 for the chip, the board and the ram selling them seperately. Here's what someone would pay for the whole thing.. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...ategory=37 44 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tegory=42 162 -- Stacey |

That's nuts. Here I was thinking that ppl would see the system and think, "Hey, all the components are there for a good system. I just need a new mobo/cpu". they'd really buy the case, board, video card, RAM, hard drives separately? --Mitchua |

Judging by myself and friends, we have to pay money to get rid of old junk like a Celeron system, and we sure ain't figuring to buy one. But we often get ourself into situations where we feel we want an odd old obsolete component. ancra |
