I guess what I'm looking for is a basic computer for college and to play some games.
The gaming, is well.. It's CPU/RAM intensive, not so much GPU.
So that's not a big issue.
Price is always an issue, of course.
The RAM is a bit low, but I can upgrade it later on when I have more funds and sell the ram in came with. [probably to some idiot on campus, and i'll tell him i'll install it too, ahaha]
I'll probably order it tonight unless someone has something better.
dv6000z
Operating system Genuine Windows Vista Home Premium (32-bit)!
Processor AMD Turion(TM) 64 X2 Dual-Core Mobile Technology TL-64 (2.2 GHz, 512KB+512KB L2 Cache )
Display 15.4" WXGA High-Definition HP BrightView Widescreen Display (1280 x 800)
Memory 1GB DDR2 System Memory (2 Dimm)
Graphics Card 256MB NVIDIA(R) GeForce(R) Go 7200
Networking 802.11a/b/g WLAN and Bluetooth
Hard Drive 80GB 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive
Primary CD/DVD Drive SuperMulti 8X DVD+/-R/RW with Double Layer Support
Primary Battery 12 Cell Lithium Ion Battery
Comes out to $833.99
I want the bluetooth, so I can use a handsfree device on campus to use in teamspeak with friends in games during the downtime in between classes, and so i can have sound.
I won't die if there's no bluetooth on the computer, but I'd really really like it.
12 cell battery is needed, because I don't want to have to keep my PC plugged in all the time, especially when there's no power.
I'd like to be able to go outside under a tree and stuff and chill out away from people.
Anyone have any better suggestions?
I was thinking of going to a C2D setup, but I don't really know.
I'd probably get rid of Vista and go back to XP on it however.
I don't like the resource hogishness
<3 in advance
*edit*
btw, HDD space doesn't really mean anything to me.
I hardly use anything.
2GB for the game, some for the OS, some to mess around with.
So even 30-40 is enough, ahaha.
I have 2x 320GBs on this desktop, and I think I've only used 30GB after 5 months.
