Re: Is this computer a good deal?
For home use, internet and word prosessing your components are fine. Games on the other hand demand more. A good 3d card costs about 100 dollars but it won't be very good after a year. With a 166 MHz you aren't currently playing any new games so a 3d card might not be worth the money for you. If you want to be on the safe side make sure that your motherboard has a AGP slot with 4x speed. That way you can decide about 3d cards later.
One thing I suggest you change is the hard drive. 40 GB hard drive costs only a little more than a 20 GB one. In a local shop the cheapest 20 GB drive is 74 euros and the cheapest 40 GB drive 84 euros.
