Absolutely horrible price. I could build you that same thing, with a 7600GT, for under $800.

 

[chuckn0rris]

just a heads up, its in CANADIAN dollars

 

[Bobo]

ooooooooo ok

Not a horrible price, but it would definitely be cheaper to build it yourself.

 

[chuckn0rris]

it is $1199 b4 tax w/ a 19" samsung widescreen LCD, i think its pretty worth it. the only problem is that it has a low ram, PC-4200, will it affect performance?

 

[Bobo]

It definitely will affect it, but not much that you will notice.

How scared are you about building it yourself?

 

[chuckn0rris]

i built 2 b4.....
but this one has a special as i have stated
its only $100 more for the widescreen

doesn't seem like that good of a deal, but then again, i don't live in canada.

The PC only has 2 open PCI slots, so you will not be able to add a 7600gt in it.

 

[chuckn0rris]

ohhh...oooooooooooooooooooooooops


there is another computer w/ AMD X2 3800+
for 50 dollars less......
it has a PCI-E port

 

[Bobo]

There are not many prebuilt computers that will come with an open PCI-E slot. They want you to buy more parts from them, not just add a video card on your own.

i saw that too, but figured the geforce 7500 could be removed to put something else in it's place. unless the 7500 is onboard, but it didn't say that but it does call it a video CARD so...i'd check to be sure first.

 

[Bobo]

No, I'm sure that the 7500 is strictly onboard.

 

[pdc76]

i don't know if it's onboard or not, but hp says it has a pci-e slot.

look at the motherboard specs.

 

[diduknowthat]

Hmm dont' know. I got a emachine a while ago, really really cheap one, and the motherboard specs has an agp slot on it, however, there was no agp slot, the place where the slot is suppose to be is just blank.
