[Twin-Head]

Excelent. compared to my 1995 90mhz packard bell. ;D

[Mad Rhetoric]

Very good,compared to my old Dell. :) :)

[TMA_1]

thats just fine. It is a great computer and shows you dont waste your money on just computer products. Some people on this site are techno-fiends.lol

[Twin-Head]

Yea, that is definatley woth 350$. You should get the surround sound speakers for your comp. they are only 50$ ;D

[DukeLeto]

DEFINATELY good for $350.

But that's nothing compared to AMD Athlon XP 1800 with 512 MB of RAM, A 16x DVD-Burner, 48x CD-ROM drive, flat-panel monitor, etc...I just wish I had a few things:

ANYTHING better than my cruddy GeForceII, and a braodband connection.

[ethan]

[Twin-Head]

Oh, How much is the whole thing?

[ethan]

[Caid Ivik]

Good computer of that type is about 40 000 Sk or 1000 USD in Slovakia. I tought this was a cheaper country!

Depends on what kind of games ou like to play. If you like RTS game like emperor, then it is probably fine. If you like fps games like tribes 2, then you'll probably want to get an Athlon XP, and geforce 4 ti instead of your respective Duron, and gefroce 4 mx. (an upgrade to DDR memory would also be recommended)

[TMA_1]

what are you talking about razorox??? I play it smoothly on my duron 750 mhz computer with a geforce 2 mx and 256 megabites of ram. you guys just dont know how to manage computer games for better speeds.

[ethan]

i bought WinRocket and it sped it up alot!

Roxorax, thats when you have plenty of money. I dont.

you can play Max Payne very very smoothly with a GeForce2MX 400

and for DDR ram, i would need a new motherboard (just bought one for $89 with the Duron onboard).

it was a b**** to put together, let me tell you.

[TMA_1]

right on ethan. good comp and good deal.

[ethan]

thanks. i wish the gfx card was here.....it will be here tommorow. and i wish i had a Lan Card for my mom's powerhouse and a Lan Cable. then i could be on here all the time! :P

What are you referring to as "it"? If oyur referring to emperor than yes of course you can play it smoothly tha's what I said... If oyu want to play any recent FPS games smoothly with that, you WILL be able to still, just need to turn the graphics down a lot.

[TMA_1]

I am referign to tribes 2. And no I have all the highest level graphics up. I just push it down to 16 bit color and cant tell a large difference. 32 bit graphics is cool but it really isnt amazing. soon though they are going to take away 16 bit and force true color. kinda a shame.

tribes 2 is gonna be a little slow if you have only geforce 2, and want to play a game with 32 players+

[ethan]

32+ ? the best thing i have ever done is 1 vs. 1 ! lol

1v1 in tribes 2???? lol, that would be VERY lame.

[ethan]

well, 32+ would be bad for me. i got analog for cryin out loud!

anyway, the motherboard went haywire. i am pissed. we are sending it sometime this week back to them so they'll fix it.
