Okay, currently... My dad-in-law has a PC which he has had since the 2005s (I think) and he is always complaining that it's too slow and everything, but instead of fixing it... I'm gonna build a very low end PC from some old hardware I have lying around here at home.
We did have a old FX-4100 system for guests to use, but has since been discontinued for an upgrade, so I was thinking about using that. It currently has no RAM, case, PSU or GPU... But I do have a extremely old GPU up on a shelf. This is a MSI 8940 Ver: 200 (RD8940-200-002) I got this from when my dad was throwing his old PC away, and I said I would keep it, but instead I ripped it apart and salvaged what I could and "experimented" on everything.
Anyway... I am wondering if I could build a super-low-end PC, but what I wanna know is wither the iGPU on the motherboard would be faster than the MSI GPU... And if so... Would he be able to play Facebook games on it and other flash games without much issue?
He currently has 3 unused PCs currently being used as door stoppers and I am gonna try and find the most powerful PSU out of them all and use that to power the system... If possible. The motherboard is a M-ATX Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 so it isn't very big... But I know that AMD CPUs are quite power hungry when it comes to it.
Thanks for taking your time to read this and I hope for a solution because I cringe every time I see him waiting for a flash game to load on his current PC. (Oh, it is also running WIndows Vista 32bit)
P.S: Use these links to view the GPU, just in case you cannot find it anywhere on the Internet.
