That’s it your in.
I am down for the count. Junking my 6-year old PC and replacing it with this:

have been pinching my pennies. Found a way to fund a new PC without effecting our income. Current gaming PC is a six [6] year old PC of junk by todays standards.

Stashed up $900 to fund my new dream machine over the past 12 months.

Thank the Lord for eBay! I won the BID !!!!!

My closing bid $599 + $40 for shipping it from California. Sealed/never opened.

Here's what $640 got me and the the teckie guts:

Intel® Core™ 2 Q6600 quad core processor with VT
Each core operates at 2.40 GHz
2 x 4MB L2 cache
1066 MHz front side bus

Chipset Intel G33

Installed: 3072 MB DDR2, 667 MHz, (PC2-5300) dual channel memory (two 1024 MB and two 512 MB modules)
Expandable to: 8 GB (4 DDR2 DIMM slots)


500 GB, 7200 RPM, SATA II hard drive

DVD ±RW, 18X multi-format dual layer drive (up to 8.5GB)

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-

Questions/comments/changes - because some of this stuff is brand new to me.

I have used 1-2 quad core customer machines - man are they fast.

I have no clue what I am going to do with 500 gigs of hard drive space. My current hard drive is an 80-gig of which I am using are 45-gig of space. Maybe it's time to start a porn collection, maybe, egh?

I have read that the NVIDIA® GeForce® 8500GT card is kind of a weenie video card? Keep in mind my current video card is a non-state of the art AGP 4x card. Should I junk it upon arrival? I have $250 sitting around here screaming at me that says " BUY, BUY, BUY " - Buy what video card?

DirectX® 10, BluRay/HD-DVD Capable It's Vista based and I know what DirectX® 10 does. Since BluRay won the format war, I can just stick in one of those format types and I am good to go?

Integrated Intel 10/100 Mbps Ethernet LAN - Junking this, jamming in a 1-gig NIC that I bought about 3 weeks ago.

Integrated 8-Channel (7.1) High Definition Audio - Should I start looking for a "7.1" speaker system?

I am planning on junking the power supply and getting something that puts put 800-1000 WATTS?

Thanking you in advance for steering me in the right direction.

It's a Gateway - Model GT5628.

See you folks in a week or two on TS. Painting the family room right now which is 1/3 of the house and I am in the over loaded position - you know the position - bend over and kiss it good bye.

On overload at the moment. Too many things to do.
