219516 2004-03-02 06:54:00 I currently have Win98SE, PIII 800, 128 ram, TNT2 Ultra, 20gb hard drive....

I'm thinking of getting a whole new tower with everything in it & getting a old monitor & using my current one for my nephew.

does anyone have any suggestions about what to get when i get my new stuff?

thanks all
Daniel

219517 2004-03-02 07:01:00 The question as you have put it is a little like saying "what car should I buy"?

To answer that we need to know something about what you are intending to use it for?

219518 2004-03-02 07:19:00 I would give you my site (cheap deals) - but that would be advertising, so just cruise the web (esp. www.pricespy.co.nz). Looking at your specs, and if you wanna do a significant upgrade, I's say you're much better of just buying a new machine. From your own choice of parts or package is up to you. Growly (6)

219520 2004-03-02 08:41:00 Thanks, this is what i was hoping for!

I'm just gonna use it for gaming.

XP pro, i probably wouldn't need it unless is i going for professional use?

thanks again all for the help!

219521 2004-03-02 08:43:00 It really depends on what you intend to use it for, but an entry level PC from pretty much anywhere would do the trick. Try your local PC store, and see if they have any specials, or are able to give you suggestions and recommendations. somebody (208)
219522 2004-03-02 08:46:00 you could use xp home, but why? you have teh resources, go for the beefed up version. Megaman (344)
219523 2004-03-02 08:47:00 unless your in an office sitution XPpro is just a waste of $$$ for home users. tweak'e (174)
