I'm thinking of buying a new PC, what does this config look like?

Originally posted by Memnoch: OK, I can upgrade the video card option to 32MB, which of these 2 is better (and is it worth the extra cost): 32MB NVIDIA GEFORCE2 MX WITH TV OUT (+$74) (US$37) or... 32MB ATI RADEON 4X AGP (+$250) (US$125) What's the difference between these 2? I assume the more expensive one is better...?

Mem, I would go with no less than a 32MB or 64MB Geforce2 GTS or Geforce3 if you have extra $$$.

I would also go with a FULL tower, so you can add to it in the future!!

But for what you are being charged, you could get a P4 1.7 Ghz, 40 gig HD, 256 RDRAM and a 32MB Vid card. Or an AMD (Did you know a 1 ghz Athlon is ONLY $76 now?!!?) whoa...

Or go for a DUAL 1.7Ghz P4, Xeon! J/K.. Don't even think those are out..

All of Dell's P4 machines are mid towers they have 3 5.25" bays and 2 or 3 3.5" bays.
memnoch- 128 will run fine, but more is better. i'm about to add 256 to my 128
and just to throw my 2 cents in. Right now you can get 128Mb of Rdram for $60 us. at www.pricewatch.com . (of course in the system your looking at you have to buy memory 2 at a time.
I run Windows ME.
and i play all kinds of games, never found anything i couldnt do in ME.
WinME is just Win98 with more features.
I also read recently that somebody is releasing a new motherboard that can take dual thunderbirds, up to 1.4GB.
And Intel has recently released there new 64bit processor, the "itanium".
but its mainly for high end applications such as servers.
