Hey everyone. I'm not too knowledgable (sp) on computers. I would like to buy a nice convenient and cost efficient desktop computer. I do not know what I would need to efficiently run programs, stay up to date, among all the other things. I know that I want an HP desktop. A decent amount of memoery( i take a lot of pics) a good processor speed and a decent amount of RAM. Anyone offer anything I should look for?

yea, $300 wont get you much of a beast. once conroe is out pentium D celerons will be dirt cheap, theyre already around $50. a socket 478 board is pretty cheap too, ddr 2700 is dirt cheap as well, apg8x video card like a fx5200 also very cheap.
try these for a starting point. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16819112203 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16813138023 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16814143056 all that is $200, you still need ram, case, powersupply, drives any 6600 agp card will be fine, that one has had some issues with DOA or bad fans. **** happens tho. -------------------- |
