Blue Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 Ok i know a little about computers, but not much. My dad gave me his old computer that he hasn't used in 2 years, He used it to do gaming on butthe hard drive has way to many viruses on it so i cant to get a new one. It has a nVidia 2 processor on an ABIT NF7 motherboard. All i would use it for would be to search the web and IM and stuff, no gaming over here. I would like to know if this board is even woth trying to put a new hard drive in? Just remeber i got it for free, not looking to get a new computer. I was thinking about putting a 500 gb hard drive on it(since i can get one for $80). Thanks, Scott P.S. Wat is the max ram that the board can handle also if anyone knows.?

Regardless if they were dipped platinum and were stuffed in Beyonce's twat.....way too fucking exspensive this sux camel dicks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 you can always reinstall XP, Vista etc on it. wipe the harddrive then reinstall OS and youll be back and up running again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airborne Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 Dude, you need to clear up what you are trying to figure out. There are NVIDIA video cards/GPU's but not CPU's. What is the exact model number of the mother board? Why do you need 500gb? What is your goal with this thing and last but not least, is it a brand name computer and if so what brand/ model?

Kian Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 you can always reinstall XP, Vista etc on it. wipe the harddrive then reinstall OS and youll be back and up running again. X2 on that. It only takes about 50 min.

Blue Posted January 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 (edited) Sorry about the confusion. I guess I don't know as much as I thought. I don't live with my dad, so I have to get in touch with him. From opening up the computer it has an ABIT NF7 V2.0 board. It has a chip on it that says nVidia n force 2 on it. http://www.devhardware.com/c/a/Motherboards/ABIT-NF7-S-V2-0/ looks like the mother board that's in it.) Now that I think about it, I believe that it has a Pentium 4 processor. He bought it for gamming back in the day, but downloaded a bunch of viruses. He asked me to destroy the hard drive, and so I did, that is why I need a new hard drive. 500 GB cause I have some music and DVD's that I would like to put on the computer. Wont take up all of it at first, but will eventually. It will pretty much be a storage device for my music and DVD's, and go on the internet, no gaming. It is also not a name brand computer(dell, Gateway,...). He had someone else build it for him. Hope this explains the questions.

Boon Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 The nForce 2 is the chipset. The processor will probably be an AMD Duron or Athlon XP (nforce2 never supported Intel) Fortunately it has a couple of SATA ports so you can buy just about any hard drive and connect it up, as long as your power supply has the right connector - if not, there are adapters you can buy. Don't bother trying to install Vista on it, it will run like utter shit. Get Windows XP. Quote 10.x volts fo' life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
