Intergrated video is nothing incomparison to a dedicated chip no matter how cheap it is.  btw that was one of the cheapest readeons i saw so No, 3000 series is not cheaper than the 2000 series and  Yes, 2000 Series is garbage but so is the 3000 series now. but were looking at what is cheap for someone who doesnt have money, so thats a good investment or you recomend buying a new board and processor and ram which will cost more than that.

Q2 09 isnt a whole year away from Q4 08.  Smart people looking to upgrade their PC's will buy into it because it would be the best/wisest investment of money, mainstream chips should also be in Q4 08 or Q1 09, there is a process shrink from 45 to 32nm but much like the C2D shrink it wont be logical to upgrade from a Nehalem based chip to another Nehalem chip.  And really I dont really support buying outdated junk. Its allways best to buy into the newest tech especially when you are building a new system for whatever reason.  BUT people who need to upgrade and cannot wait or do not want to pay to invest into the the newest tech will have no other choice but to buy older cheaper stuff but in the end they will be upgrading again later on and spending even more money than if they had just sat on it.  Allways remember buying outdated computer Hardware is throwing your money away.

wow, i specifically did not want to talk about Nehalem because it has nothing to do with what this kid wants.

i dont know who you build computers for, but i NEVER tell my clients to buy into "the newest tech" because its A WASTE OF MONEY. Early Adopters, like people who bought the iPhone for $599 are the ones that threw their money away. People who bought SATA drives in 04 threw their money away.

Just because Intel is bringing out a new socket doesnt make stuff on 775 "outdated junk".

I don't know about crysis at full graphics but for $1000 bucks thats including a 20inch screen power supply and the other necessities you can play the game at the setting just below that and it runs real smooth like.  I agree don't waste money on top of the line cause 1 year later it will be at least 1/2 the price if not lower its better just to buy  $1000 compy like every 3-5 years than a $3000 every 4-7.  Whats wrong about the Geforce 7600 GS?

If you sit around and wait for the "latest hardware" you're never going to BUY new hardware, because something new will be just around the corner, so the general rule is that unless new shit is coming out within a 2-3 weeks, just buy the best for your budget. (Real way to buy a new comp, set a budget, and get the best parts for the budget, and tweak the parts for less money or more performance.)

That IS why i decided to recomend a videcard instead. No money and needs an upgrade, Vid card will help. P3 is a capable processor for simple tasks theres no reason to upgrade. HELL my dedicated MB system is a P2 and runs win XP.

775 IS outdated Junk. I shouldnt have to debate with you the reasons for waiting to upgrade to Nehalem.

really? i think i just did. why dont you read my previous posts?

you're arguing performance. i'm arguing cost-effective.

ask me again in a year; maybe i'll change my mind then.

With the money you save buying the new stuff later, you can afford to buy 775 and then some.

Nehalem will not only be highend but its not.  I bet by Q3 09 Intel will have the market oversaturated with variants too much like the C2D market is now.  Im pretty sure by 2010 intel will be pushing their 32nm verions of nehalem and the prices will be even better. In the end its still more logical to wait for the new architecture which has been my point.

I think you might want to learn what the kid wants to do with his computer before argueing about whats best for him. buying a 300$ computer seems better if hes gonna fap to porn on it and play melty blood until he can afford something thatll run crysis 2.

I don't even want to think what the specs are going to be for a compy to be able to run Crysis 2.

Duh cause MBAA will be out, proably with hardly and graphical change from MBAC too.  Personally I buy at 3 different levels

lv1(Im poor as hell)$300-$500: your only options are outdated parts and using your old monitor but this is all cool as long as you just want to play 2D games older shooters, and some TBS and some RPGs, surf the web and use email and stuff. Second option is to get some wacky tiny linux laptop that uses a solid state harddrive these are 100% amazing for non-gamers.  <--- I had one of these it was pretty cool

lv2(what I ussally get) $900-$1200: can play anything on the market today, yes even Crysis, at high graphics too.  You can even get a pretty amazing laptop for that price as well check my previous post, the one with linky.

lv3(I like to burn money or I am a graphics designer): $2000-$3000, can play anything out on the market next year, if it can't its cause you got a really nice tablet PC cause you are a graphics designer or something and thats cool.

anything more than that and its for your job or you are rich and way way way too spoiled or your an idiot.

I'd be past LV3  lol but it was overtime and it was mostly on Harddrives, Gotta have safe storage for my music and anime and nothing beats a good RAID 6 setup. X_X a good RAID controler costs more than a "lv2" system X_X

Workstation Graphics cards cost more than lv3 systems but i guess a pc designed for that would fall under "for job"  even if you do it for a hobby.

You mean you didn't follow the shit-ton DvD strat with them labeled disk 1,2,3,4... then crypic abrivations on them, and on your computer have a giant text file that has a description of whats on every disk.

Im starting to this only have like 1TB so far, small in comparision to my one friends 14TB of anime wtf, I didn't know there were over 60 animes that started with the letter A.

Not much of a porn person, but whatever xD.  :fap:

Basically I just want something better than what I have now. My PC is fine, but if MBAA is coming out, dammit, lol.

All I do on this pc is do school assignments, surf the web, chat, make art, and play games. That's pretty much it... I think. I have a few games... Melty, uh... halo 1 xD, stepmania, etc.. As you can see, I'm not much of a serious PC gamer, but I'm fine. I don't need something that will let me play Crysis (although that would be satisfying). I'm saying this because I'm putting into consideration that I don't have as much money as maybe... most/all of you on this thread.

(Let's see... I'm looking at dxdiag and System Properties, and it says my Processor is Intel(R) Celeron (TM) CPU 1300MHz, 256 RAM... 1.29GHz   :-[

and my video card is pathetic. RADEON 7000.  >:( ) DAMN :(

Nahhhh lol i like to be organized. Anime is burned and labled by Series name and on HDD they are split up between 4 completed anime folders and one incomplete anime folder.  There are LOADS of anime series out there lol you should check out ANN sometimes, thats actualy what i do when im looking for something new.  i definately have to reorganize it ive updated some series with HD verions and and also bought some DVD's for some so those fansubs gotta be tossed and replaced with my own rips.

It's over nine thousa--- *shot*

I think the topic creator wanted to know what are the optimum specs a gaming computer could have with minimal expenditure.
