Later, I upgraded to a [[Dell Optiplex 390]] with slightly more modern hardware because at the time I didn't quite realize how old the Core 2 Duo was.

The Dell Optiplex 755 is a business oriented desktop computer from 2007. Dell sold many different configurations of these desktops ranging from an Intel Celeron 430 to a Core 2 Quad Q6700 processor, as well as the option of Windows XP Home/Professional or Windows Vista Basic/Business/Ultimate. Memory options ranged from 512 MB of DDR2 667 MHz to 4 GB of DDR2 800 MHz. Original hard drives ranged from 80 GB to 250 GB and graphics options were the Intel GMA 3100 integrated graphics or a 256 MB ATI Radeon HD 2400 Pro or 2400 XT.

== Collection Specifics ==
I bought my Dell Optiplex 755 for $22.50 with $14.50 shipping on eBay on January 12, 2019 to use as my first personal desktop computer.

=== Operating System ===
As previously mentioned, Dell gave the option of either preinstalled Windows XP or Windows Vista. This device has been through many operating systems in the years that I've owned it. Originally, I installed Windows 7 on it since it was still in support in 2019 and I wanted to use an older operating system on my main computer at the time. At some point I upgraded it to Windows 10, then went back to Vista, then to 7, then 8 and 8.1, and back to 10. I don't really know what was going on during this time. There was also a short period of time when I made this PC a Hackintosh and installed Mac OS X Snow Leopard on it.

Nowadays, this Optiplex 755 is a part of my little home Active Directory computer network and runs Windows 10 Pro.

=== Hardware ===
I've done two upgrades to this PC. Some time in 2019 I added in a NVIDIA GeForce 210 graphics card to use for my Hackintosh experimenting. More recently, in September 2022, I upgraded the hard drive to a SSD so it could run Windows 10 decently.
