I am looking to put togethor a PC for one of our accounting ladies at the office.

She is currently working on a 1.8ghz Celeron 512mb Ram etc. The machine is about 3.5 years old. And its about time to upgrade and move the old one down the pecking order.

For accounting type work (Pastel ad Payroll software mainly) will a Celeron be enough? or should I go with P4?

Want to keep the budget low, but also need some performance.

What's your opinion?
 
well a "cele" 2.6 GHZ will be just fine 512ram(ddr400) and a 1gbram(ddr400) if you have internet and for multi tasking. geforce5200 just to take the stress of any unknown graphic use. an a 17" screen will do better if she dont have one. soft keyboard an mouse.:D
 
Dont really have a set budget, but def want to keep it under 7k, 5k if possible.

Want to buy a descent machine, but not overkill. Got a quote from the dude who used to supply us with machines and he came back with a 12k monster.
I just asked for a replacement machine for so and so, but thats a bit crazy, can rather spend some of that money on my work machine, or get me a PDA :)
 
Yes, at the end of the day it will have to include XP and Office as well.

The Microsoft extras will probably take it over the 7k mark.

But will a Celeron do the job?

And how much performance increase will a gfx card give the system over using onboard gfx?
 
Why not a Sempron 3100+ or so on an Nvidia N51-based board?
