New Computers Equipped with Windows XP

For computers that come equipped with XP, one thing to keep in mind is that some of these computers could be on clearance or even refurbished. What that means is that the computers you find may not be the most up to date in regards of processor, memory, or hard drive space, to name a few. However, this list will cut out some of the work for you, listing computers that have a good amount of memory, hard disk space and processing power to meet your growing needs.

Take note that all of these computers listed will not include a monitor, and some may even just have the tower, meaning you’ll need to buy other hardware (mouse, keyboard, speakers) separately.

Costs roughly: $500

This desktop comes with a Core 2 Duo Intel processor, 1GB of DDR2 RAM as well as an 80GB hard drive and DVD-ROM optical drive.

On top of that, it comes fully equipped with 10 USB slots. It’s perfectly upgradeable, too; you can expand up to 4GB of RAM, and SATA-compatible hard drives are very easy to find. In other words, you can upgrade your hard drive to 1 terabyte of space (or more) in the future.
