Grem Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Limited in what it can do for sure. But it can get the job done at a no-brainer price!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cclarry Posted April 3, 2019 Author Share Posted April 3, 2019 Yep...at that price you can slap a bigger hard drive and more RAM in it and have a heck of a decent DAW PC. You can't even buy Win 10 Pro for that price! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monomox Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 I'd check how "upgradeable" that PC is before investing, 4 GB is barely enough for anything nowadays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitekrazy Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 You would also have to check DDR3 RAM prices. Well developed software can run on this system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abacab Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 (edited) Here are the specs on that CPU: https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/43546/intel-core-i5-650-processor-4m-cache-3-20-ghz.html That is a 10 year old legacy dual core CPU and chipset, with a slower DDR3 1066/1333 memory bus than later DDR3 designs. Memory would definitely need to be bumped to at least 8GB RAM to be usable with Win 10. You could probably do that for less than $50. https://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Description=8 gb ddr3&Submit=ENE But for a budget system for $150, why not?
