Goose_Of_Mercy Posted June 17, 2003 Author Share Posted June 17, 2003 What Internet Provider are you guys gonna use to b/c I want to upgrade from 56k especially if my new comp is: ($1360.15) AMD Athlon XP rocessor 2700+ NVIDA nForce 2 DDR440 AGP 8x Motherboard with USV 2.0 1024MB Dual CHannel DDR400 Memory 120GB 7200 RPM Ultra ATA-100 Hard Drive 16x DVD-ROM 52x24x52 CD-RW ROM 128MB ATI RADEON 9600 PRO 8x AGP Video 5.1 Channel 3D Surrond Sound Creative Labs Inspire 5.1 5200 Suround Sound Speakers 19" Viewsonic E90 .23mmH Monitor Windows XP 1 Year Tech Supoort Everything except the monitor and the speakers (which are black) are blue and the Case is see-through with blue Cadeon lights (like neon lights but better). I think I got a good deal and hope it doesnt suck in 3 years =[ Also like I said above what do you guys like as a DSL provider...fast, reliable, cheap? Thanks. ~SK~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devlyyn Sarr Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 swediot=)- Yeah that computer will run great! Congrats! Goose_Of_Mercy- Your system sounds awesome too! Only thing I would change is to go for a p4 instead of the 2700+. AMD's are great up unto about 2500 but from there on the newer p4s with the 800mhz FSB really take the lead. Check out http://www.tomshardware.com for some benchmarks. Oh and I have road runner cable internet from Time Warner. I've never had any problems with it but like DSL, it might not be available where you live. Oh yeah, and for all the people who say that cable slows down as more people get it...that may be true, but i've yet to notice it any Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackrabbit Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 Easy chief. I don't know how good the graphics are on those Dells. My friend also got one about a year ago, and it doesn't run too good. Of course, it could just be XP... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
