The first one would be a bit better, due to an 8ms response time, and 5 dollars cheaper.

I can't get to the rest of your build because the links are broken.

but shipping would cost and i got walmart near me that sells that for that price - as for the links they are down a few posts

what is the GPU you are using?
what is he using the computer for?
and go into your budget detail more please

holyjunk · 04-24-2006, 12:52 AM

aight
GPU: 32MB nVIDIA M64 Pro Graphics Card (take load off of cpu a little)
he will be using it for more of a multi-tasking, no gaming (if he wants to can get a gpu later), and probably $500, $600
*what do u think of the setup i got on page 1?

Dr Studly · 04-24-2006, 12:55 AM

its alright... but only if it is definate he isn't doing gameing...

hey and is that AGP or PCI?
and are you sure he doesn't want a PCIe slot?
and if he is going to get a good GPU later or mebbe upgrade later, he should get a more upgradable motherboard...

and more detail on your budget...

holyjunk · 04-24-2006, 01:03 AM

well... i still got to ask him some more questions and beings he at college right now, i got to call him gpu is agp - no pciE cause no good gpu i really dont need it right? and what u mean more upgradeable motherboard? - he was going to buy from dell like a $300 one but i convinced him to let me build one and i havnt even built myself one [: i mean i got a dual core so that is good and a gig of ram and can u answer question bout ram on first page? thx

Dr Studly · 04-24-2006, 01:08 AM

i don't think the ram difference would do much... i think the first ram you picked out might be a bit better, but not by much...

and what i mean a by a more upgradable motherboard is that mebbe if his computer parts starts getting old, he can always upgrade (i.e. a mobo that supports PCIe, 4gb ram etc...)

holyjunk · 04-24-2006, 01:11 AM
