Core 2 Duo, intel newest dual processor they're good and by buying a C2D you will be able to upgrade the processor for a faster one later

like i said b4 im not good at computer, so in english plz lol i really on know abotu ram and hd and stuff like that
DOes the computer need to have vista on it? Because if not you can get a great deal on a computer from Tigerdirect. Check what i just found on the front page of their website: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-Details.asp?EdpNo=2727021&sku=G153-GT4022 . for $400 you get the 4000 processor, 200 gig hdd, 1 gig of ram, 6100 graphics, and windows Media center 2005. The extra $300 is enough for a graphics card and a nice 19 inch widescreen monitor.

it looks pretty good but 2 questions:1. Isnt it used?
2. what dioes proccessor number mean for ex. 4000
It's refurbished, so its not new, but not necessarily used. I bought my last pc from them and you would have never known it was used. I had it for a year, before I got rid of it on Wednesday(sold it to finance my build) and in the year I owned it I had a lot of hours on it, upgraded the ram, put a nvidia 6600 graphics in it and a tv tuner, it was a nice computer, too bad you didn't post sooner, I just sold it for $380.

butwhat if i got this http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=5493592 would it be good and when i get more money i could upgrade it.
it would be good, but if you got the gateway I linked you, you could get a Nvidia Geforce 7600GT and 19 inche widescreen for the same price as that one at walmart. It's up to you, but I would go with the refurbished unit because you would be getting a much better gaming unit.

Do you mean the processor of video card numbers? In both cases really, they show you how "high up" the device is.
In terms of nVidia video cards, the first number is the series, such as the 6xxx or 7xxx series. The other 4 digits represent how high up they are in that model, for instance a 7300 is worse then a 7600. However a 7300 is not better then a 6800.

oooo. ty and i wanted to know if this a good computer? http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2782558&Sku=C122-3620
It would be ok, but do you realize the computer doesn't come with an operating system? That would be atleast another $100 for a Windows operating system.

o ty. would a computer store like geek squad be able to change cases for you if you wanted to get a cool designed one?
probably, but your going to probably pay atleast $100 just to put all your internals from one case to another. Those places rip you off.
