faster? So you dont care about price?

 

[elazarus]

This computer is $1700...so let's say $2500...

thank you

 

[Trizoy]

i was asking a question... Do you want it faster... What are you paying for this? And what is the cap?

I'm guessing he wants the best he can for his money. A quick try at Voodoo PCs gave this:

AMD Athlon 64 3500+
Asus A8n-SLI Deluxe
1 Gb Corsair XMS Xpert illuminated memory
Voodoo 600 Watt Noisetaker 2.0
80 GB HGST SATA HDD
Lite-on 1648 optical drive
GeForce 6600 GT PCI-EXPRESS 128 Mb
Win XP Pro

2500 $ USD

What are you going to be using this computer for, any heavy usage programs? hard core gamer? video editing ect. Also just because the spec on a PC are great, deosn't mean they didn't load it with so much extra crap(cough compaq cough) that it will run slow.
