My friend is kinda looking for a PC..he doesn't want to build it. I was looking at Velocity Micro. They seem to be a nice site. $1100 for something that might be overprice but meh. He doesn't want to spend more then 1500 on both comp and monitor. He says he will mainly play BF2 on it but I think...

I'm going to get the 6800GS vid card for my computer but since I have Win XP MCE I was thinkin about getting the PVR150 and recording/burning tv shows. Will these work? I have read about this kind of stuff but never really understood it competely since I didn't have a PC to do it with. My PC is...

Ah cool thats good to hear.

I keep reading about "bottleneck". I think I understand it....vid card is more powerful then cpu when it comes to games? Will I see any "bottleneck" if I slap in a 6800GS with my eMachine 3500+ 2.2? Maybe I'm just confused heh but will it work? PSU isn't a problem I have an antec around here...

I think buying is a better option then building (but I may look around for a deal or ask someone I know to build it see what he will say) since this pc wont be upgraded ever unless you count the ram. The compaq just runs really slow its an old school K-6 cpu, 135 ram, 500mhz...I remember it cost...

Heh they offered them haha. I'll check those out..since its going to be mainly interent does it even matter what kind of cpu is in it? I know 512ram is atleast needed for xp to run smoothly.

I got my eMachine T6524 last night and love it! But now I need to find a Internet PC for the family..we got a 1999 Compaq and since we are entering 2006 I think its time for a new one. Only need the PC no monitor, keyboard, mouse. It will only be used for CD burner and the interent. Doesn't need...

Okay I just didn't know if I could or should do that. I might just save afew bucks here and there and get 2X1gig sometime in the next month. Thanks for the replys!

Heh okay I can do that. A64 doesn't perform well with 4 sticks? Would it be wise to maybe put a 1gig stick in it? Not saying I will but I might :D

I have 1 gig right now 512x2 dual channel..if I get 256x2 will I even see any boost? Right now my total memory is like 800 something since 128 is going to onboard vid(going to get vid card soon) and I was thinking about getting another 512ram for the hell of it. By the way my PC is eMachine...

I was thinking about getting the 6800GS simply because it will last me a good 2 years if not more. If I get the 6800GS then thats another $200 added on the $650 HP or eMachine then if I get the HP thats another $50 bucks for another 512RAM. So about $850-$950 depending on which PC I get. But...

I did try ABS and PC Club but they either didn't have the vid card I wanted or the price jumped over 1000 bucks and to be honest I dont wanna spend that much :( Which I kinda wanna stay under $700. Also I'm guessing reformatting these computers with the company restore disk will just put the...

That makes me feet much better :). Thank you.

Cool. Thank you for your posts and input. :) I did read the review on the Under $1000 SLI PC from them on Dec 5 and overall I'm very impressed. I think I'll go ahead and get the SLI *ready* PC since I'm not into much gaming but having that as an option for future use sure is a good feeling :)...
