I got this to replace a Celeron as I though it would be an upgrade... wrong! This is so slow. I only added Chrome and ICQ, and when it starts up it uses 97% of it's CPU power, and randomly it uses a high amount as well. Webpages and programs take awhile to load and run. Horrible compared to any other computer I've owned. It also doesn't have an easy way to set up VESA on the back of my monitor. The fan kicked in and although not loud, it's not super quiet either. While this does work, I wouldn't suggest it if you don't have the patience to wait on it. It's just okay and no, I wouldn't purchase it again.
