i just writing this cause my computer is starting to bug me for one its only 355mhz(my xbox is like double that speed) i only got 96mbs ram so if i do alot at once it crashes and stalls and my modem speed is only 11.5KBS.i was having trouble deciding weather to get a new car or computer but ive decided the car then the computer.im just sick of this computer staling/lagging running out of memory (7GB HDD) and performing illegal operations.I did try tcpoptimiser but that didnt speed it up.hopefully i will get a 56k modem soon.
Umm..first of all what kind of car were you looking to buy? You're weighing your options between a car and a new computer..hmm. Yeah by hearing your specs you definitely need a new comp but you may seriously wanna think about saving your money for a car if you don't already have one, a comp is nice but you can't take your girlfriend to the sock hop in it lol. Dell is advertising an entry-level for $299 after rebate so you may wanna take a look at that one..it's lightyears ahead of the one you're speaking of man.
i got quoted one around $800 with a P4 3.2 ghz and 512 MB ram plus networkcard/graphics card 56k modem mouse keyboard box only thing is it doesnt come with a moniter but there not dear.i was thinking i need a car so im looking for an older model toyota a corona,camry or carolla or maybe a nissan pulsar.dont know yet.
800 bucks for a PC w/o a monitor, i would stay well clear of that. If your looking to get a new car & a new PC then spending $800 for a PC without a monitor is not a good idea, if you were to build you own PC then you should be able to cut the price down and then you have more cash for your car
I'm not an xbox guru (I prefer my ps2) but I remember reading somewhere the xbox runs on a 300 mhz celeron
the computer is custom built for $800 and as for the moniter my neighbour sold me the one im using for $20 and hes got another that he can sell me for the same price only like 15inch i dont need like the flatscreen 19inch moniter or anything fancy as long as it works i dont care.as for the xbox i heard it runs at about 775mhz.the ps2 might be the one that runs at about 300mhz.
If you can get the monitor for that cheap then go for it yeah your right it is the Ps2 that runs at 300mhz the G-C is more like 400mhz.

okay, I guess I was wrong about the speed, but I knew it was a celeron. the PS2 runs on a Toshiba chip clocked at 266 mhz
Do what Javafriek said and get an entry level PC because Anything! you get now will be much better than what you have : )
