I agree with that i once had a Intel P4 and in 6 months it burned down on me. That is why I always go with AMD and NVidia for processor and graphics
Here's mine =D Intel Core i7 920 @ 2.67 GHZ 6 Gb memory nVidia GeForce GTX 275 Superclocked with 3.6 gb memory Im loving this comp
OMG! that is insane! How much did that cost? Anyways, this is the specs of my slow, crappy PC that I've ranted about. I re-instaleed Xp on my PC! Now it boots at 2 minutes with the sexy look of Vista, even thiough Vista sucks. 256MB of DDR RAM AMD AThlon 1800+ 1.53GHZ 40GB HDD NVIDIA GeForce 4 440 MX 64MB GRAM XP SP3 with Vista Insprate 2. I play DS games using No$Zoomer and it doesn;t really lag (except for kingdom hearts, it takes 3 minues to load... ...because the emulator loads the NDS file into the memory, then the page file!) Sell value: $20 The PC spec I want which is mimnimum for me: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz and up 3GB of RAM XP Pro or Windows 7 320GB HHD 256MB of GRAM Internet Connettion, my dad took years to get me Internet and I still don't have it! That is connected on my slow PC! Cost: $400 What is good: 4GB of RAM and Up Intel Core 2 Quad 500GB HHD 512 of GRAM Cost: $700 Post Merge: [time]1268522978[/time] Logitech G19 Gaming Keyboard is better! It PWNS!
YAAYYY got a new PC finally. OS: Windows XP service Pack 3 Processor: Intel i5 @2.67GHz (4 processors) 4GB DDR3 Ram 1.5TB Hard Drive Space ATI Radeon 5750 HD 1GB also got a really cool device that wirelessly streams the PC video image to our 52" TV in our living room. Playing Bioshock 2 on there is amazing! And guess how much it cost... the equivalent of about 450 UK pounds.

ATI Radeon 5850 1gb 8gb DDR3 RAM 3.4 Quad Core Processor Windows 7 64 Rosewill 940PSU Seagate Barracuda 750GB HDD, and 330GB HDD
I've always used intel, and the P4 that I'm using now has been in the PC since it was built in 2001... I would like an i7 though...
The new series of Intel have been better then before , butt I still find that Intel is for business people and AMD is for gamers.
