    Lightbulb OMG! SWEET PC! Plz help though!

    I was checkin TigerDirect and saw an.. AMD Athlon 64 4200 + Dual Core PC Processor with fan.

    Processor Speed : 64 4200+ / 2.20 GHz

    Processor Interface : Socket 939

    Processor Class : Athlon 64 X2

    Cache Size : 1mb

    Bus Speed : 2000 MHz

    Additional Technologies : HyperTransport

    Fan : Included

    Is that a good computer? And can it run Guild wars and other good 3d games? I wanna double check before i beg my dad into getting it for me.. He's not into that whole "Buy Online" thing... Also, is buying it online trustworthy? That's his main problem.. So, answer that for sure! And, this is in the states, right? Therefore, there'd be shipping charges, right? Ack! And does he havta give his credit card number or can he pay when it comes?

    So, thanks and please answer these ASAP. 'cuz, you might JUST see me playing some online 3d game ^.- Merci!

    I get all my stuff online, depends whether you trust your shipping and handling, really. Heh.

    I'd say that looks good for a gamer PC, I'm not too up on the gamer PC's now a days I just use my notebook that I got from Alienware, yes a fortune but I like it and don't play games often on it.

    thats just a prosesor, you still need a mother board, sound card, video card, ram, computer box, power suply, CD, flopy drive, hard drive o_O i dont think you'll be running any game with just a chipset.

    rofl No Kidding I was gonna say "Where the hell is the grapics card or anything?" I ahve to agree that a chipset probably won't run any games on it's own. That can't play any game without a grapics card, let alone without everything but a chipset.

    Who needs RAM when you have hamsters, rubber bands, a pile of cheese and a hamster wheel? Oh that's right, Sora does. :P

    That's the problem. From what I can tell, you aren't looking at a PC, just a processor. I think. Correct me if I'm wrong. Maybe a link would help?

    the amd 4200+ is an awsome cpu for gaming. it should be able to handle all the top games. it could probably run 2 guild wars at the same time smothly. so yes the 4200+ is a very good cpu.
