Title: I need a new computer.
Post by: *MAFIA* Meeester on January 12, 2009, 04:45:59 PM
Who knows of a good computer that is $350 or less. It can be a full package or just a tower. Something around 4 gb would be nice since that was my last desktop. Once I find my old link to a good computer i'll post it and get your opinions. This pos donor motherboard I have is only a bandage that is starting to peel off so a suggestion would be nice fast.

It looks like a 360  :o which leads me to believe that it is too small to handle a demanding game like cod5 without overheating or any space to add on other ram. A good looking computer and very tempting with the 750gb but It looks to wimpy to handle a hard game.

alright I found the link for the computer I'm looking at. I need cp or Hell to critisize it. I need feedback before I drop $350. http://www.compusa.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3718399&csid=_21

I know, im looking over it again and saw that it has a max of only 2 gb. I was hoping to put a few more slots in and up it to 4 but it has a limit of 2 so now im back to the drawing board and will probably need my dad to chip in $200 to get a decent comp with 4gb. New idea is this http://www.compusa.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3774989&csid=_21

If you want a good computer you should get one with Dual core or even Quad core...
