    no that is not a good price, it's listed as a "custom built gaming pc" but the computer uses onboard video, which is useless for gaming.

    Also, adding together the speed of the 2 cores of a dual core cpu is not the proper way to figure out the speed of it. Currently games only use 1 cpu and cannot utilize multiple processors.

    Corsair 550vx
    GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3L
    C2D e6750 @ 2.66
    2 gig ram
    Asus Radeon 4850

    hmm, i thaught RAM, CPU and Motherboard might be the factor of poor speed even having a fast DSL connection. isn't it?

    No, Ram, CPU, Motherboard will make your App's (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Netscape, Outlook, etc) run better. Your Internet Speed will be the same but might seem faster if App's run better.

    ANY modern pc* will do your basic tasks just the same...

    *of course if it's full of junk programs, it'll be slow as molasses regardless...
