I'm in the market for a new computer and before I layed down my hard earned bucks I decided I'd check in with you guys to see if you had any suggestions on what and where i should look. Here are the specs i'm leaning towards now:
1.4 GHz Amd Tbird
256 ram
40 gig hd
64 Mb GeForce2
17" monitor
dvd rom
cd-rw
I have approx 񘐜 bucks to spend.
thanks for all the help

get a geforce 3 they're about the same price as the GF2ultras are anywayz. other than that i think thats about right depending on the quality ram you want.

IMO it depends on the motherboard. Right now my AGP is old, I got my motherboard a little bit after they first came out. If you have a new motherboard that supports all that 2X/4X fast write stuff go for a Geforce3. You might be able to get one on ebay now for under 300.

The best deal for geForce3's is the Gainward - they retail for around 跠 USD and they're the best in 2D/3D.

Even after everyone's warning not to buy a pre-built pc I am going to have to because I have no experience in assembling computers nor do I know someone who does. Does anyone know of any good sites that would let me sustomize my own computer? Thanks

btw, can someone explain the difference between AMD Tbirds and Athlons?
Which is better?
I know that Tbirds are Socket A and Athlons are Slot A.

a Tbird is athe NEW batch of athlons ranging into the GHz range its just that the TBirds are the socket A versions. The K7 or old Athlons were the slot A ones. that is the only difference.

if you ask for an athlon today you will 99\% be given a TBird as AMD dont manufacture the old K7's any more

Haha, companies are pushing EDO ram for like 50 bucks for 16 megs. No one wants it, no one buys it, enjoy!
