Newegg.com - Sony VAIO SVJ20215CXB 20" All-In-One PC Intel Core i5 3317U(1.7GHz) 4GB DDR3 750GB HDD Capacity Intel HD Graphics 4000 Windows 8 64-bit
But I want to be able to mount it to the wall, on a swing mount.
Her desktop HD died last week. Old Gateway from 2001.

She has a new keyboard and monitor. I just want a CPU. She really doesn't use it that much (pictures and a little FB and some FB games) but hers is so old, I just wanted to replace it. Didn't want to spend too much right now either..

Is it a pentium 4? or is it one of the new ones? I would bet its an old one thats why it doesnt say I5 or I7.


Also most pre bundled computers from best buy are junk and full of crap you dont need IMO

It was Dual core. You can do better than that. Look for a quad core cpu and you should be able to get away with a 500 gig HD if she isn't hording tons of media ( Pics, Tunes, and Video).
