Getting This Pc

[Supernatural]

Anyone getting a new computer should get 512MB ram AT LEAST.

[ooo]

lolz i do have it... 2, 256mb ram...

[Supernatural]

Why get 256MBx2 when you can get 512MB?

just a small word radeon 8500 is better than 9000 and 8500 is the same as 9100 if you want a good card get a 8500 if you want a gooder card for the price get a gf4ti 4200 s never get anything MX and 2x256 is better dont ask it just is no get everything from newegg cause your not buying from pricewatch your buying from a bootleg retailer or site that comes up with the lower price soooo if you do buy using pricewatch site....good luck on the thing showing up at your door

Dont even think about the Gforce MX...they are total crap. U need a Ti4200, 4400, or 4600. If you dont care about getting new drivers in a couple of years then the Radeon 9700 is even better.

look at the first post for updated specs... i will look for the other video card soon... the 8500...

If like me you have an ASUS A7n8x motherboard then you need two sticks of RAM (one in each channel) to utilise the increased bandwith available with dual-channel ddr ram.
