Title: Forced to get a new PC early.
Post by: Triple Ace on September 27, 2006, 12:08:44 am

I have been planning on buying a new PC for a while now. I hoped I could put it off for a while longer. But, the PC I had fried Early Saturday morning during a storm that did not wake me up. So, instead of waiting and getting a beefy custom system, I had to get one this weekend. Its not exactly what I wanted, but it is a huge improvment of what I had.

My old system:

Brand: Emachines W2047
AMD Athlon XP 2000+ clocked at 1.6 ghz
512 pc2700 ddr memory
40 gb hard drive
Nvidia Geforce FX 5700 LE 128 mb

My new system:

Brand: Gateway GM5084 Media center Pc
Amd Athlon 64 Live dual core 4200+ clocked at 2.2 ghz
2 gb of pc3200 ddr memory
320 gb hard drive
Nvidia intergrated Geforce 6100 up to 256 mb shared (will get a better video card)

For best results, build your own desktops.

I got it for $800. And I don't have the skills to build my own and I did not have time to wait as I did not have access to another pc.

Thats what I said Kosh. I am probably the least skilled out of everyone on this forum.
