Do you think it would be cheaper to buy a new computer or buy a mother board and a cpu for an older computer?

Well....its not that good unfortunately. You should really get a computer with 1-2 gb of RAM,that one has 320 MB (which is barely anything). The harddrive is only 40gb but it doesn't really matter all that much if you don't plan to save anything more than papers on it.

We have a 10 megabit speed connection and I have a dinosaur similar to that and its slow but I can type papers on it, youtube is slowish. The processer isnt very good. And saying that it was a new $50 power supply isnt saying anything becuz it depends on what brand and lots of stuff.

If what you posted is direct quotes then I wouldnt buy it( the person seems kinda shady). And its not a very good computer, sry but don't get it. Hope I helped I just read what other people posted and they are wrong.

It can run internet ok and microsoft.It depends on how fast your internet connection is also ( just sayin).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
