first one

 

[darkhawk]

Sounds good, but 600 $ ? And not Monitor ?

 

[bigguy]

The only thing I dont like is the "onboard" stuff. They both look real good. I see there is no pci express on these boards. I`m not totally convinced that pci express is the way to go anyway. But the first board looks good yes.

 

[NewFuture]

ye first one, i have a radeon very reliable

 

[Skyline4life]

I can get the second one with the radeon..But im going to try and get the second one with the stock gfx card, put my card i have in there now, and save up for a 9800XT

 

[AsPeRiTy]

Ya i like the first one better than the 2nd.

 

[chaganlal1]

yea i agree with yall i liek the 1st one better then the second sounds more souped-up

 

[The_Magistrate]

I like the first one best, but in either machine, I would double the memory. It can never hurt to have a gig in an Athlon 64 machine, and if you're going the cheaper road and getting a Sempron, 256 may not be enough for all the apps you want to run.

Memory for that board is rather cheap. I find the best prices on www.crucial.com . I got a gig chip from them for $115.

 

[Skyline4life]

yea i'm saving up for more ram and a new card..IMa get it wtih 256mb and ima save up for a 9800XT and use my card i have now.

 

[Iceman]

Did you set that up at Newegg or some other computer-building site?

It looks like a fairly good computer. Hope you have fun with it

 

[Skyline4life]

i set it up on cyberpowerinc.com..i was looking at the Weekely speical for the second one.

 

[Pim]

The first one, but pick a better video card and 1 gig memory.

 

[ss128]

lol my 3400+ owns you 2800+! -uhhh sorry just had to say that...
it's a decent computer, you can expect to get good performance off of it. i got mine for 700 dollars, mainly because of the procesor and grafix card.

 

[MicrotechXP]

Get the first one

 

[limelight]

I'd go with the first one.

 

[dsfreak]

I like the first one. It sounds good.

 

[Nathan]

I vote for the first one.

 

[Neuromancer]

First one also..but depending on the price of that 9250 you might want to ditch it)

If its going to cost you 50+ dollars I would go with something cheaper for standby duty, and then get a sapphire 9800 pro later.. its only 130 bucks right now and should only drop in proce, it uses the r360 core and we all know what that means
