About the HardDrive, I have an external hard drive so I don't need a big internal one or anything. Should I go with a bigger internal HD? Would I need anything more? What would you add/upgrade? Would the Quad-Core be a great processor? Intel® Core™ 2 Q6600 Quad-Core (8MB L2 cache,2.4GHz,1066FSB) Genuine Windows Vista® Home Basic 4GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 667MHz - 4 DIMMs 80GB Serial ATA Hard Drive (7200RPM) w/DataBurst Cache™ 16X CD/DVD Burner (DVD+/-RW) w/ double layer 256MB NVIDIA GeForce 8600GT-DDR3 Sound Blaster® X-Fi™ XtremeGamer (D) Sound Card 13 in 1 Media Card Reader
You can fly to the moon with that - I'd live to get this as a web server PS: how about a VGA card with more memory like 512 ? one more thing, you might need a 10k rpm HDD to make use of the other resources to boost the performance
I like everything but the HD interface....Serial ATA sounds too 2004 isn't Sata the name of the game these days
4GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 667MHz - 4 DIMMs -> get DDR2 800mhz if you can afford forget the 8600 and go for a 8800gts or if possible a GTX I think you shouldent forget the motherboard, wich will be about 150$ (asus p5k-e) and the quadrcore is really something! nice processor
if you can get DDR2 800mhz instead that would be better if you r not gamer just normal pc user so that would be fine if you planning to play lots of games i suggest you get the 8800GTS
yeah that's true, I haven't priced them but I can only imagine. That's good for the DDR2 folks though. My memory used to be $132-150 per GB and now it's all the way down to $80!
quad cores rule, that would be a nice setup though, the quad core is currently the best on the market (4 cores = 4 processors)
are you using it for gaming? If not, you don't need that video card the first thing i will ditch is Genuine Windows Vista® Home Basic. It is slow and useless. Get ubuntu and you won't even think about windows anymore
