New Copmuter

[Praetor]

is this a good set-up?

for what?

this is just for multi-tasking, i.e., videos, music, pictures, internet, email.

well since none of that is actually specifically demanding (i assume you mean video playback and image viewing rather than content creation), then it doesnt really matter

not name brand

uh last time i checked, excelsior was a brand name

actually i don't know the difference. is SATA better?

HDD 101.

and all as long as your not really doing any gaming it should be a good lowend system

Uh well the X300 onboard will be more of a limitation than the CPU

No! No! No! Not a celeron! I would go with one of AMD's lower-level chips. You will notice a MUCH bigger performance increse.

Not that any of it matters considering none of the stuff is CPU bound

These aren't name brands???

They are, you're ok ... system is good .. realistically the only thing you'll want to look for is maybe better prices
