Michael2603 Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 www.aol3pay.com offers a computer. I can't figure out what motherboard it has on it, but could someone more capable investigate (I've looked around, and the page AOL has is a mirror of TigerDirect's) and find if this computer is anywhere close? What caught my eye was the Celeron D, from there, I can't find anything.

Nickhamm Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 http://www.cjb.cc/members/gtec/pn.htm That site has phone nymbers for Sytemax (who make the AOL PC) and a seprate number for the AOL Optimized PC both toward the bottom of the page. Maybe you could try calling and ask for some specs or even some drivers to figure out the hadware. I am at schol right now, so I can't call myself, otherwise I would.

shakaru Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 well, if my memory servers me right, it should have SSE2, sis chipset, and probably just onboard everything. I wouldnt expect more than 256 ram and not much else.

Michael2603 Posted September 14, 2005 Author Share Posted September 14, 2005 I could of swore I read that you get a reduced monthly fee if you buy the computer (hence it pays for itself, if anyone was actually interested in the service) I apologize if that's not the case.
