What's your budget?

What are you using the computer for?

What size is your monitor?

Are you overclocking?

Do you have to buy OEM?

What sites can you buy from? If you're not buying from a site, is there anyway for you to list the components you can buy?

When were you planning on buying?

[edit]

i dunno why i have everything in ? when he wanted €

wasn't paying attention =P

Doesnt matter if the CPU is made for gaming or not, any CPU can game. The E2200 is based on Conroe core of the Core 2 Duo, i used to game on an E2160 fine.

As for ram it doesnt matter if its 800Mhz its not like he is going to be overclocking and memory speed makes negligable difference on gaming performance.

When is a processor ever "made for gaming"? Processors are general computing tools..they're never specifically designed for a specific task. The only valid point in that post is that the processor might be slightly holding back the higher end GPUs, which doesn't appear to be a factor in this case at all.

well truloy speaking gaming wise lets leave that aspect a side ill forget gaming, not interested coz got an xbox360 so shud have mentioned before but otherwise no one seems to have answered my maion question yet will mac os x laopard runn as smooth as it runs on a mac.

That video card is weak.

I would pay a few extra bucks and get Vista Home Premium... or not, if you don't care.

The CPU is "OK"

RAM is kinda slow

Would you consider building your own? You will get SO MUCH MORE for your money.

No point to be a smartass. You know what I mean.

Horrid graphic card, horrid CPU and horrid ram.

To OP get anything around those specs:

CPU: E8xxx or E7xxx or if you wish quad get, Q6600 or Q9xxx

Graphic card: nvidia(from worse to better): 9600GT/8800GT/9800+ or ATI: HD3850/HD3870/HD4850/HD4870

RAM: At least DDRII 800Mhz, don't buy any slower ram. 2GB or more - what is most common toady is 4GB of RAM.

The rest is up to you.

Good luck in your purchase.

can you even explain why is this one better then the other one price wise. pelase

Better hardware, better software.

With the computer I linked to, you get the Quad core (9300) over the E2200. Although the 9300 is the slowest quad core, it's by far faster than the E2200. More cache, higher clock speed, a faster FSB and not to mention two more cores.

You also get the 3450, which is also better than the 9300 GeForce. This is important if you're planning to game.

You get Vista Home Premium instead of Basic. If I were to go out and buy Vista, it would be either Home Premium or Ultimate. Basic is not something I would want to spend hours a day using.

The only downside I can see is half the RAM. 4 gigs (IMHO) is just fine for Vista, esp with a quad core CPU.

HAHHAHA! That's the one I linked you to. Yes, that would be MUCH better than the original you chose. For sure worth the extra 100 C thingies.

Actually, an E2xx0 overclocked to 3+ GHz will not hold back the video card. So even though I might've been a bit sharp on the way I worded it, it continues to stand. A "budget" processor may not have the stock MHz or the cache as the E8400, but once it's overclocked and the system is running properly the GPU will carry the load anyway. So sorry for being a smartass, but we get enough of marketing from the marketing departments. We don't need that here.

RAM doesn't have to be DDR2-800 if the OP isn't overclocking. No processor today has a stock speed of 400 MHz nor does running the RAM any faster net real world gains.

    • I like Tidal, but it still does not control devices from the mobile/app and still no surround support. And yeah re: above comment I still get a lot of network errors and I am on a 4/4 Gbit Fiber connection.
    • Aren`t "security features" and "AI model that can see your screen" a tad diametric!
    • Samsung, Amazon extend 990 PRO 2TB NVMe SSD deal beyond Prime Day 2026 by Sayan Sen Recently, we had Amazon's Prime Day 2026 sales wherein there were several great deals including on SSDs. One of those discounted components was the Samsung 990 PRO SSD as the 2TB variant of it was selling for $370, a very good price after a long time. Although that deal was supposed to expire today, Amazon has now extended that sale further (purchase link under the specs table down below). The 990 PRO is a PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD and still one of the fastest drives available today for under $400. Speaking of fast, sequential reads and writes are rated at 7450 MB/s and 6900 MB/s, respectively. The random throughputs for reads and writes are 1400K IOPS and 1550K IOPS, respectively. The 990 PRO is based on Samsung's 7th Gen V-NAND flash, and it too is TLC. It packs 2 gigs of LPDDR4 DRAM cache, which helps the random performance. The endurance rating for this is 1200 TBW (terabytes written), which should be sufficient for most users. The Samsung 990 PRO is compatible with the PlayStation 5, but if you are going to use the 990 PRO on a PC, check out the Samsung Magician app that lets you track your drive's health, update its firmware, customize various settings, and more. The technical specs of the Samsung 990 PRO 2TB are given in the table below: Specification Value Form Factor M.2 2280 Interface PCIe Gen 4.0 x4, NVMe 2.0 NAND Flash Samsung V-NAND TLC Controller Samsung In-house Controller Cache Memory Samsung 2GB Low Power DDR4 SDRAM Sequential Read Speed Up to 7,450 MB/s Sequential Write Speed Up to 6,900 MB/s Random Read (4KB, QD32) Up to 1,400,000 IOPS Random Write (4KB, QD32) Up to 1,550,000 IOPS Random Read (4KB, QD1) Up to 22,000 IOPS Random Write (4KB, QD1) Up to 80,000 IOPS Operating Temperature 0°C to 70°C Reliability (MTBF) 1.5 Million Hours Endurance 1,200 TBW (Total Bytes Written) Get it at the link below: Samsung 990 PRO SSD 2TB NVMe SSD (MZ-V9P2T0B/AM): $369.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.
