Yea that computer is sick. But for what your using the comp for, you could spend 1500 and be ok. Then take the extra money and save it.

ReturnToEmpire · 04-22-2006, 10:11 PM

i agree with bob, and you may want the DDR2 RAM of AM2 as well. and if u buy this am2 will come out soon after.

Good point, with that high of a budget. I would wait for the future processors being realesed.

What makes you think you need an upgrade? Granted the dual core chips would perform better but your tasks is hardly what id call heavier multitasking.

Upgrade the video to something abit more modern and you'll be set. Then later this year you'll have better options for a new machine.

nice.... i would get this harddrive instead though...

Ku-sama · 04-23-2006, 12:49 AM

too costly, as you also need a scsi controller

4W4K3 · 04-23-2006, 12:53 AM

So you just want to listen to music, browse the web, chat online, and play WoW? An $800 computer could do that superbly. As previously suggested I would just upgrade your video card. Then that Dell should be able to do all of what you need.

A $4400 computer needs a REAL workload to even be suggested.
