Nice Proc...
Decent MOBO, but can't OC with it, and it's been outdated with the advent of KT2366A chipsets
That's a low-end video card, not great for gaming, but should do fine
Decent hard drive
It's fairly decent deal, nothing great, the major standout of the bunch is that 2100+ that is really nice....
-
Yup a decent computer for ~$500. Congrats on your purchase :)
-
good buy but if gamming i would upgrade the vid card :)
-
Thanks for reply, I wanted to post the other night but it wouldnt let me found out today never got my email from them so put in diff email got it working ;p
Being that I was limited to a 500$ budget(gift) I couldnt get everything I wanted so I figured id skip building my own until I can get some money and put in what i want and still have nice cpu chip.
This is good to hold me off though, as far as O/C im not much into that as long as I can get 50+fps I what game I play im happy eye cant see but so much anyways. Mother board for price it goes for its really got some good reviews besides sound I hear isnt all that.
I will eventually put vidcard,then mboard,then mem most likly..As far as mother boards what are the best for gaming with XP chips?
Sadly I mostly play quake and (yes I know...)EQ so my system requirements are not to big right now although I love graphical game and when I can get a nice fast vid card Id prolly forget about all the game I mess with now,plus being on dialup pretty much limits you to certain things, who feels like downloading 100meg patches on dialup (notme).
Using a p1 for 7yrs kinda sucks got left behind by friends but computers where never really a big important thing to me although im adicted to them ;p so feels good to be out of the void eheh cant wait till UPS man comes a knocking. Getting so ready downloaded all hardware patches burnt them onto disk do I can get right to gaming when It comes (besides Installing OS).
talking out the *** again so Ill go lol,thanks see ya around
-
right now i would say the best mobo for the XP chip is the EPOX 8K3A+ but i have the epox 8KHA+ and love it

It seems a decent setup. You can play most of the current games
with nice framerates. If you need more power just upgrade the video card and give me your Geforce2 mx :D
-
I agree, that's a good system if you're not planning on overclocking. Also that video card needs an upgrade, if you're a hardcore gamer and if you are, I'd look into adding another 256MB of RAM. If you're not a gamer.. that system is just perfect for your needs. :)
