Akaru Posted November 6, 2009 Content Count: 1000 Joined: 06/12/09 Status: Offline Share Posted November 6, 2009 Graphics card and processor blow. If you are ever to get an AMD X4, get a Phenom II X4. Athlon II X4 is not even an option. And II've stated before to someone, never get a graphics card below the mid-range level or more than 3 generations old, if you are gaming (which I think you will be doing since you are part of the SG community). Nvidia's mid-range starts at that 600s; for example 8600 and up, 9600 and up, GTX 250 and up. Do not get any GeForce 7 series card or lower though. Link to comment

Most new operating systems like vista, snow leopard and even Win 7 dont work that great on anything less than 3 GB. And if your going to game you should throw another gig just so u dont have a bottleneck problem. long story short~ go for 4 GB of Ram ps. if u get more than 3 gigs of ram make sure your OS is 64 bit Edited November 6, 2009 by RedOctober added the p.s.
