Its nothing too fancy, its mostly just for me to game on.
Do you guys think itll hand the new stuff coming out?
Dont worry, i can upgrade my video card later on but this is it for now, oh and i am also looking for a good wireless ADSL router, i only need 2 ports, but id like 4 just in case.
Any info for me would be very helpful.

Also a quick question, will the Integrated AC97 Sound Card slow down my computer and my FPS in games?
If so what can i do and how much will it cost me, im just a 14 year old canadian kid, so nothing to much. Thnx again

Peace.


/edit : it also comes with high quality harman/kardon speakers, Logitech webcam, and a logitech mic.

Hmmm.. wnat brand is this PC? monitor?

I think it will handle most of the new games coming out. But there is also the part of upgrades and add-ons that are always questionable. I'm sure you will be happy thou with how it runs and wnat you can do with it.

8.5/10 - I would have gotten at least a Radeon 9600 series card, and I would have gotten XP Pro.

I agre on the XP Pro, would have gotten that instead of the Home version

[Soheils91]

really? Xp Pro huh? Wat diffs does it have to home? I was wondering, will the pro be able to play MoHAA? Because i know Home can't, and that sux. I hope they make a patch.

no monitor, i already have a dell one, not to great, but it works. Actually its pretty good. The pc is just a 7500 Barebon system i got and customized from a store called Computer Circle in Edmonton.

Ok I'll rate it: On a scale of 1-10, I'd give it a 10+ for business applications, a 7.5 for gaming PC, a 7 for audiophile PC and a 6 for video/DVD editing PC.

Some suggestions:

1. Get a good soundcard like Creative Audigy Gamer or the Platinum series.

2. Get a better videocard - get a 9500 Radeon; it's much better even than the 9600 series.

3. I agree with Windows XP Pro (I personally prefer W2K Professional)

XP Home will play MOHAA. I use xp home and it plays MOHAA just fine, no problems, gliches what-so-ever. But I would go with pro.
