If it isnt, can you help me find one?

Thanks, Grim.

Hmm...very similar to my computer. But don't get Athlon, go for Intel. Way better in my opinion. >_>

And it also depends on what this computer is for. If you want it for games, buy a video card with it, or look for one with a better graphics card already installed.

hey, thanks for your replies, but i really need a straight answer to these next questions. IS this a good gaming computer? I am going to get 512mb graphics card instead of the one that it already has. This one has 3gb of memory and a 400gb hard drive. Is memory the same thing as ram? and is Athlon vs. intel a personal prefrence? Will Athlon still run games really smooth?

Hardly. Athlon processors are usually slower than Intel.

CMON! My eye is starting to twitch. I want 1 normal answer to is that computer good or not. All im going to be using it for is playing games. Also, downloading the games too. Can you tell me what is good about it and what is bad about it?

Anyways are there a store for this website? That is around Canada?

Edit: The buying system is kind of confusing for me..

I have no idea, a friend recommended it to me, however, I live in the UK and know better places for my area.

its fine..besides the athalon. right now core 2s are the top cpu's. (btw, go on newegg.com first. there's a lot more choice there. im getting my new comp from there this weekend) xD

o well... I cant really get a straight answer. the best so far is "its okay. the only bad thing is the athalon". I have no idea what hes talking about. Ima get it anyways. Ill be using it tomorrow hopefully. :D

It's way better than my computer i got now. Mine has 512mb of ram, the new one has 3gb. This one i doubt has a graphics card

Whatever you do, please for the love of god, make sure it doesn't have Vista.

Do yourself a huge favor, stay the hell away from AMD processors.

just throw in 500$ more and build urself a custom one.

It's never a good idea to buy pre-built computers. They tend to lure you with LCD, keyboards, mouses, speakers. That computer worth about 500$...

Should i just buy a copy of windows xp? Whats so bad about vista? will it mess all of my games up? And apparently lots of people are buying these. they are bringing 8 more in tomorrow, and they are expecting them all to be sold by the end of the day.

I have a few questions, try to answer them as best you can.
1. Is this computer good?
2. is download speed affected by ram, or just internet?
3. Will Vista cause lots of the games to crash?
4. Should i just get a copy of windows xp instead?

Thanks, Grim
