Refresher: Today's Woot
Compaq Athlon 64 3800+ Media Center PC - $359.99 (refurbished)

Features: # Processor: AMD’s Athlon 64 3800+ processor is built for tomorrow’s 64-bit applications, which will require a processor with significant power. This 2.4 GHz processor offers a system bus with speeds up to a blazing 2000 MT/s (mega transfers per second) and 512 KB L2 cache. (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system’s performance.) It includes such AMD features as HyperTransport Technology (which increases the communication between integrated circuits) and Cool’n’Quiet Technology that conserves power while also keeping the PC nicely quiet. # Hard Drive: The large 200GB Serial ATA (SATA) hard drive (7200 RPM) offers a wealth of storage space, perfect for storing a vast multimedia collection or for editing digital video. This SATA hard drive also quickens the pace with a higher speed transfer of data—akin to FireWire and USB 2.0. # Memory: The 1 GB of installed RAM (PC4200, 2×512 MB, 533 MHz) is enough to get you started, but you’ll want to add more RAM to handle today’s demanding multimedia and productivity suites. This desktop has a good 2 GB maximum RAM capacity (2×1 GB). Also, to receive the benefits of the dual-channel DDR2 RAM, any RAM additions require memory modules of same capacity and clockspeed.
