    Default I'm getting a new computer FINALLY

    -Intel DG965WH motherboard
    -Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 CPU
    -2X512 Team Research DDR 2 667Mhz memory
    -Maxtor 200Gb hard drive
    -eVga 7900 GS video card w/ 256Mb of memory
    -Samsung dual layer DVD burner

    Mid(ish)-range, yeah i know i'm light years behind but it's not so easy to shuffle out tons of money when you don't have it.

    What do you all think? Any CONSTRUCTIVE criticism?

    Well, yeah, my bro is actually putting it together for me. I dunno I think only one, but he already had some of the parts so that's probably why it's a burner and only one.

    Yeah, it's MUCH better than this piece I am on right now.

    Wait, is that dual layer, or dual sided... Ok nevermind, nothing special. Cuz some computers will burn dual sided dvd's.

    Your computer sucks. And by the way your brothers putting it together for you? You should put it together yourself not depend on family members.

    Your vocabulary SUCKS, you obviously don't know what constructive criticism is. Only problem is it won't be able to play any dx10 games but i really don't care because I don't play all of the games that JUST come out and suck but they have crazy graphics. I'm not spoiled like you.

    My brother is putting it together because he bought most of it before he even asked and he's in SD(San Diego), I don't have the money nor do I have the knowledge off the top of my head on building a pc. I really don't care because i'm not a computer nut. It's still a big upgrade for me. Considering i'm on a crappy dell that's almost 4 yrs old now.

    Why not go for a video card with 512mb ? Even most laptops comes with a 512mb video card now ~

    Because it's a budget PC, I dont have 80$+ more to put toward it. Most laptops over 1,500$? I'm getting the 256mb 7900GS for about 150, it's not gonna have a problem running any games out today, that's all i'm worried about, i'm not worried about rediculously graphic'd FPS games coming out in a month or two.

    Except... NOT. The standard for video cards is 256. 512 are high-end cards.


    Anyway, it's a good system. Will last you quite some time.

    Thanks, I hope so.

    I'm finally getting my new PC too!!! Woo!!

    Intel Dual Core Duo 2
    Geforce 7600(can change later)
    1Gb Ram(can change later)

    And that's all i noe for now!! ^^ march!! FCK YA!!
    Grats. Yeah, i'm getting mine in march as well, should be up and running in roughly 3 weeks, give or take a few days.

    A year for your average porn addict maybe.

    Depends, he's stated he isn't much of one, so I'd guess it could last two years if not more...
    I think he means because of the hardware, the vid card will be obsolete in a few months I hear. I don't really care though because like I said, i'm not expecting to play dx10 games or anything THAT new.

    I've got that problem... 500+GB and I'm running out of HD space and HD bays. So I'm going to get a hot-swap bay.
    ^_^
    Lol, chill out. I don't download any so i'm not worried, 200gb is a HUGE upgrade from what this computer's hd holds.

    This computer i'm on right now couldn't even run Oblivion on it's extreme low settings.

    But yea bro - That comp should do you pretty well for at least about a year. What OS is your brother putting on it?
    XP Pro, I believe
