Should I buy? (3 Viewers)

Be that as it may, it still has compatibility issues which can be a real pain in the ass. So for now, though I thought I would never say this, XP FTW!

Most programs have vista versions now, i've had no compatibility issues so far. Just make sure you get the 32bit/86x version and not the 64x version ^^

vista is shit. It's much slower than xp. I cannot seriously make any notes on my comp because it's TOO SLOW.

OMG, I need to go back to that ancient time when we use xp.

Wow you need to upgrade your comp oO

My cousin is using vista fine and it's just an intel dual core 1.6 GHz with 2gb RAM and an 80gb hard drive so vista should be fine on normal computers.

Mine is definitely not a normal computer.

I think he's talking about hardware issues with vista. some stuff is really annoying. thats why this pc runs xp but my laptop runs vista haha

 

[Omie Jay]

I have no problems with vista at all on my laptop, but thats because i have awesome hardware. The specs for the $999 pc in the OP would run vista perfectly fine, but theres still the issue of the graphics card.
And if its not for gaming, then you'll live with a 2ghz dual core cpu and 2gigs ram, u'd save heaps of money too.

Its integrated, but i m not buying for games. I just want 4g of ram for no reason wtsoever.

But Moll. u can get access to porn if i geta a computer... and have many nights of my miserable life.

You're a virgin, aren't you?

MOST, but not all. To me it's not good enough. xD

Did anybody fail to mention that withotu a 64bit OS (XP/Vista), there isn o use in getting 4gb of ram?

I still wouldn't get an integrated video card. Get an el-cheapo one such as 8600GT? 8800GT? 9500GT? depending on how much you want to spend. If you want to play high-res videos on your comp, an integrated video card will stutter. Mark my words.

And 4gb's is pretty much overkill if not gaming or doing anything hardcore. get 2gb. I game, and burn dvds and such, and 2gb of ram is certainly enough.

I'm a virgin as well, but i don't fancy the idea of paying someone to sleep with them ... especially when god knows how many people have slept with them. ;o

 

[dp624]

no, get a AMD HD4670 instead of any nvidia card. its like <150 so yea, cheap

 

[Omie Jay]

or get a 4870 and completey pwn the competition.
Though the OP stated that they did not want a gaming pc, dunno why they want 4gigs ram and 2.6ghz cpu though..

 

[bigb0yjames]

get an i7 processor.

 

[dp624]

get an i7 processor.

dude theyre soooo expensive !!!

 

[Omie Jay]

but so awesome too. the 2.66ghz one is quite good, the one above it is even better, but like $400 extra.

 

[wrxsti]

get an i7 processor.

hehe >$1000 for just a CPU. COOL

 

[bigb0yjames]

stop lying wrxsti. its $959. so its <1000.

btw, the motherboard that supports the system is like $600. (GigaByte EX58 DS4 Extreme)


but then you would also need a good graphics card. maybe a ASUS 1GB GTX280 for $630 ?

and then the ram? 6gig DDR3 for $400

umm.... 3TB HDD for $490

and a DVD/blueray burner for $250

what about a screen? samsung 275T+ for $950

speakers.... logitech Z-5500 THX.....$400

water cooling case + 1000Wpower supply $800

umm.....TOTAL

$5479.00

 

[Omie Jay]

haha, dont think its enough ram tho, dont u need like 12gigs to fully utilise the.. harddrive?

 

[dp624]

3TB in SSDs would be nice..raid0 =O

 

[bigb0yjames]

haha, dont think its enough ram tho, dont u need like 12gigs to fully utilise the.. harddrive?

lol u sure? its DDR3

 

[Omie Jay]

and you'll probably will be needing 2 more gtx 280's, 3-way sli is essential for watching pr0n.
