I chose it cuz it was cheep lol, but i dont install much on my PC Actually. Very rarely do i install another game or download stuff.[/b]

Just wondering if its a better idea to have a dedicated processor then dual?? And the processor+RAM+Video card will be one of the determening factors for your comp to run with very little lag??

lawl, For a 6,000$ USD Alienware computer I can build custom for around 1,500-2,000 USD xD[/b]

Totally agree on that one. if you know how to build a comp im sure you can find a less known company that make parts comparable to very well name brand and save cash that way. I think when you buy a brand name comp your mostly paying for the brand.

XP2300 doesn't mean it runs at 2.3 ghz

At windwalkers post, 4 gig isnt neccesary windows doesnt run the full 4 gig's or you need to buy vista ultima 64bit!
xp run's till 3.2gig's but you arent dual channel annymore so better stick to 2 gig's dual channel for xp or vista 32 bit
