I need a new computer

[satellite positioning]

OK if anyone can convince me that this computer is fine for basicly internet media and cd burning ill keep it if not im saving for a new one.

ok im not realy a techie but ill tell you all i know.

microsoft windows xp service pack 3
intel pentium 3 processor 869 mhz 256 of ram
DVD-RW drive CD-RW drive
16GB Local disc (c;)

need to know anymore just ask and tell me where to find the info.

also i have alot of programs stuck on my computer it just wont let me remove it anyway to get rid of it manualy?

[Lethal]

Its time for a new rig. And if you have service pack 3 then that may be why you want a new machine. It doesnt exist lol.

You want atleast a 2ghz AMD with atleast 512mb PC3200 and atleast a 60gb hard drive. If you dont play games on your computer and from the looks of the machine you have its safe to say you dont lol. I would get a GeForce 7200 videocard. Or a 6200. Of course your system will have to be PCI-E so the cpu should be a AMD64 3200+ with a ASUS A8N board.

[satellite positioning]

well thats what it says when i go to controll pannel then system it says windows xp service pack 3 as i said im not a computer techie im only going by what i've read.

[satellite positioning]

Maybe not my bad the installation version is 3.0 and windows xp version 2 or what ever.

[satellite positioning]

ok can you put that list in english please lol i don't know what the half of it was.

[Lethal]

Ok here is the cheapest good computer I can suggest.

AMD64 3200+ cpu
1gb of Kingston PC3200 memory (512mb min.)
ASUS A8N Deluxe motherboard
GeForce 6200 PCI-E videocard. (7300 optional)
Antec 350w PSU (500w if you plan on upgrading more later)
60gb Hard Drive (80gb+ recommended)

Total if you shop for best price = $400 (cheaper if you shop ebay)

[satellite positioning]

Im only 15 so i can't buy online but in shop price what kinda price am i looking at i already got £325 saved up.

[Lethal]

I dont know how much that is in USD.

[satellite positioning]

How much in dollars i will convert it.

[matt_don]

Rough guess at $600, im probbably waay off, but close to that marker...

[aphung]

well if you're not a mad gamer or anything, you just want a computer for doing normal stuff like listening to music and surfing the web and playing some games, there are a lot of computer packages that are good and waay cheap at like best buy and circuit city. those are pretty good deals.

[PiRatE.]

Yeah. For basic stuff you can just go to BestBuy and pick up a computer with a moniter for like $300. Or if you wanna pay a little more spend a little more and buy a prepackaged comp. BestBuy have some good deals in cheaper PC's.

ouch 16 gb, my grandma has mor gigs in her panties
new comp, i got my comp with about 70 gigs of memory in the local drive (place you save programs and all) for only 600 dollars thats including the monitor and speakers, its a very nice computer, the comp was made buy compaq, the monitor buy insignia, and the speakrs buy altec lansing

i also have a printer/ scanner buy hp, but it sucks, because hp sucks, and its really a pos, but it gets the job done... it was like an extra 100 dollars

[goatman93]

A good HP/Compaq will do.
My laptop is worse than that and I can play Internet media but not CD burning. :l

Oh you didn't just insult HP/Compaq did you?
If you did I am going to whoop your ass so badly. :x

[PiRatE.]

Take it easy man. We settle disagreements over debate here, not by saying, "I'm gonna whoop your ass."

[Knightmare]

I disagree, HP/Compaq are the cheapo laptops/computers that have horrible support and lifetime , my IBM lasted 3 years and is still going while my Friends hp died in a year and never dropped unlike me :) (7x Dropped), and my laptop only cost 1000 bucks :) and I beat it up, so if you want a comp that lasts a year get a Dell/E-Machines/HP/Or Compaq, if you want a good computer I suggest a Lenovo/Acer(Costs $$$)/Apple/or Panasonic(Toughbook only)

IE*

I have the worlds $h17est graphic card in my Lenovo and I can play COD2 with easy, so I highly reccomend an Apple for music/photos, becasue my friend and I use the schools g4 imacs and they are nice, Im thinking about buying the old g3 imac my school is using for a doorstop rightnow :)

Guys this thread is dead a burried i just upgraded my PC thanks for your replys though lol.

[Knightmare]

[satellite positioning]

[DeLinKweNt21]

yea my computer now is very similar to yours,except i had a 20 GB rather than a 16 gb.And i have windows pro.and i bought a 100 GB HDD for 50 bucks.Since we have similar comps.Do you have problems with like when you close windows,or programs that sometimes that windows freezes,and/or says Program not responding.Does this happen to you.Mind you i have a pentium 3,and 128 mb ram.

[satellite positioning]

My windows 2000 use to freeze nearly every 200 minutes i sometimes get a few programs that fail to end but not they often.

[DeLinKweNt21]

oh,i was wondering what the hell i could do to fix it.I might be getting a laptop for christmas.

[satellite positioning]

Damn I hate PC World. I went there while visiting relatives in Scotland, and they had the worst PC parts I'd ever seen. I would take Fry's anyday.
