RE: ready to buy new computers! suggestions?
My best storebought experience is the HP Pavillion a1129n. The comp has great specs for its price, and the motherboard is the best I've seen in a storebought machine.
It was 1200 when bought at Best Buy, but is probably in the 500 pricerange now, if you can find one...
Features...
SATA 200gb
PCIe 16x
4x 168 pin DDR (4gb max. 512 PC3200standard)
Socket 939 AMD64 3400+ (Board will take the newest FX- series processors)
ATi Xpress X200 chipset (nice!)
DVD burner / card reader / about a million USB ports
1.44 FLOPPY!!!! (selling point!)
The 512 ram and onboard video would be the only thing slowing this machine down in Source, but the one I have used ran Source at maybe 50fps avarage in Med settings. Keep in mind the video card took 128 megs from my Ram, so that was with about 384 megs of ram! Not bad aye?
