Meaning I cant play my age of empires.
Now im about broke anyone know of a graphic card I could get for like
$60?
i had my friend built me a computer 2 years ago for 900 dollars and i got 1 gig, evga 6600 gt, amd xp 2.4, 17 in samsung syncmaster 793df monitor, microsoft multimedia keyboard, razer diamondback plasma le mouse, and a ratpadz gs mouse, and 2 speakers with a bass box, and 6 fans with fan controller, remember this was 2 years ago and it was for 900 dollars.
if you buy computers like alienware, sony, or dell, or etc. those are ripoffs, they make you charge more than it's worth, better have a friend make you one. especially alienware man, you can build a computer equivilant to one of theirs and save up to even 900 dollars, their computers that are like 5 thousand dollars are like pure rip off the **** offf.
whoa sorry but your parents got ripped hardcore. What brand is it and where'd they bought it from btw?Quote:

With 900 you could get
Req.DDR2 MainBoard)1GB (2x512MB) PC6400 DDR2/800 Dual Channel Memory
NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GS 256MB PCI Express x16 Video Card
MD Athlon™64 3500+ CPU w/ HyperTransport Technology
someone should really sue these companies for ripping off people who don't know jack shit about computers lol
Dude why did you let your parent order the computer for you?
Uhm I didn't know I was gonna get one?
Actually, if you can refund the computer id try. See if the phone company you baught it from has the legal license to sell that product, and if you get 900 back i suggest go to best buy and buy a gateway models with 2.4 ghrtz 2044 mghrtz 260 gig hardrive 2 duo core intell pentium 64 bit platform proccesors, and Nvidia 7600 for 699 dollors.
Thats 100x's better than the one your parents got from the phone company. Plus youll have 200 dollors left:D so you can buy a ati x1600 xt pro graphics card that handles 512 mb procesing power of its own:D can handle 512,000,000 polygons per second, and has its own drivers installed for only 130:)
A whole total of close to 870 with tax.
Ebay i would'nt suggest 100% because many people will try to create look alikes, and or broken damaged cards to sell for money.
They only had a 60 day warrenty i didnt get it till after the warrenty ,
I cant really buy anything else cause im sorta poor. lol
What phone company was it from ? thats kind of odd, that a phone company would be selling computer products. Or atleast its not usual.
Dont know ... aliant?
Once i start working,i'm going to custom build.
I even chose the box alredy :D.
And anyway,i've got this 700€ computer 2 years ago:
1GB RAM
160GB IDE HD
Radeon 9250 (Ew...)
AGP (Sadly :()
P.4 3.2 GhZ
Out dated but ASRock M.B-It can't handle Dual Core and has AGP.
That's the problem of my computer,it's motherboard outdated problems.
Current:
Same settings but i have a X1600 PRO 512MB.Hurray!On Bench. 2003,it jumped from a score of 666 to some astounding 7500 :D.
