^ intel has the old P4 named as dual core ( i think or pentium D) and the newer core 2 architecture under the name of core 2 duo core 2 duo is the much better option
lol yea my comp spec is: AMD x2 4000+ (2.1ghz) about 320gb or 300gb hard drive.. no graphic card:( cry!!! 6150le intergrated graphic.. dvd rw.. media card drive.. vista home preminum.. a 280w power supply i think.. not sure.. its a Dell C521.. old model.. slim case though.. thats the hard problem about finding video card.... i want 8600gt low profile (slim version) http://www.gfe.com.hk/Product_Details.asp?id=135
i have a 3.2 ghz p4 and a radeon 9200 agp can't even run unreal 2004 at full specs or even max res at medium settings :(
quad is good if your converting videos, doing things that actually needs to use the cpu... like when i put my comp on max performance while converting videos.. its much faster than a p4 2.8ghz...
I'm thinking I might return my Quad G0 for a Xeon G0 on monday. I still need to get it built so it's all good.
Quad cores eh... damn... technology speeding up too quickly and sofwares don't utilize all that power yet.

You need to get a sound card. Sometimes, multiple hard drives are better than a single large one. If you want performance, multiple hard drives is the way to go. Having 1 large hard drive will slow processes down since all the data will be pulled from 1 source.
