SICK BOY Posted March 20, 2004 Report Posted March 20, 2004 My friend got a great deal through Dell.I'd check them out. Quote
I2fast4U Posted March 21, 2004 Report Posted March 21, 2004 dell or gateway is the way to go or compaqs are pretty nice to Quote
Mxracer776 Posted March 21, 2004 Report Posted March 21, 2004 dell all the way. :flame: gateway has a crappy warranty program. Quote
MULLET~BOY Posted March 21, 2004 Report Posted March 21, 2004 dell has a nice one for liek 650 i think right now with the amd xp proseser pretty nice lil pc Quote
Wassup350 Posted March 21, 2004 Report Posted March 21, 2004 Definitely dont get Hewlett packard or compaq they really really suck. Look for something with about 256 megs of ram and anything over a gightz processor would be real good. 20 megabyte harddrive also so you can store a buncha stuff on it. Definitely go with xp also it's very reliable. ME 98 and 95 are all junk, Win 2000, xp home, and xp pro are good operating systems. Quote
01BANSHEE.UK Posted March 21, 2004 Report Posted March 21, 2004 If you want a decent/proper have one built up to how you want it dont get one of the cheapo ready built packages mentioned here. Quote
CombatTalon2 Posted March 21, 2004 Report Posted March 21, 2004 I would definatly go for a Dell if you dont know much about computers. Get a comp with a 2+ GHz Processor, and go for 512MB ram. Get a big hard drive now, and you wont have to worry in the future. im running 180GB of hard drive space right now, and its almost not enough. make sure you are getting the 7200 RPM hard drive too! Dells are pretty good deals! Quote
sandman121383 Posted March 21, 2004 Report Posted March 21, 2004 i went with eMachines. i got a laptop and a desktop and both run really great and smooth. the laptop came with an ATI radeon graphics card and the desktop comes with an N-Vidia G Force card. both have sharp crisp graphics and i have alot of movies and they run smooth and look great. the desktop is a t2825. got lts of goodies for a price u won't believe.cd-burner and a dvd rom so u can watch dvd's on it. 2.8 GHz processor i think. . . DDR ram i could go into real detail but u don't really need to know everything unless u want. dell's are great with great customer service from what i heard. i'd say shop around and do a little homework and decide whats best for u. shoot me a PM if u have any questions or somethin u wanna kno man. 1 more point.if ur into gaming and big on movies then a flatscreen isn't the way to go. the refresh rate isn't fast enough and graphics and pictures may lag a little. so ask about monitor options. i went with a traditional monitor instead of gettin a thin one.
