[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.

    • So what am I quoting from them? I never listened to what Farage or his cronies said. I wanted the U.K to leave the E.u years before the referendum and it had nothing to do with Farage and his cronies. So what country do you live in? Did we work much better together? We were always at logger heads with the E.U because we disagreed with them so much. Maggie was always on at them. I would have thought the E.U was glad to get rid of us as we stopped the integration or made it a two tier. Now without us they can integrate more. I would not have voted out if it was just a trading block and we can still work together on somethings.

    • Apple reportedly looks to blacklisted Chinese memory chips as RAM prices climb by Karthik Mudaliar Image via Apple Apple is reportedly trying to get a clearance from the Trump administration to buy memory from ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT) to get some relief from soaring DRAM prices. As per a report by the Financial Times, Apple approached the Commerce Department more than a month ago and also spoke to other officials and allies in Washington. For starters, CXMT is a company that's already been placed on the Pentagon's list of Chinese military companies. The Chinese company is the country's top DRAM maker. For Apple, the timing is certainly awkward but not surprising. Tim Cook had recently warned that Apple would have to raise prices because AI companies are buying up large amounts of memory for data centers, and just like that, Apple raised MacBook and iPad prices. Micron also recently revealed that customers have committed billions of dollars to secure memory supply years in advance, which shows us how aggressive securing infrastructure has become. This gives suppliers such as Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron more leverage, while pushing hardware makers to look for alternatives. CXMT is one of those alternatives, but not the simplest one. Apple has spent many years trying to diversify parts of its supply chain away from China, especially for final assembly, while still depending heavily on Chinese manufacturing and suppliers. Even domestic brands from China are moving towards CXMT and YMTC instead of relying on Samsung, Micron, and SK Hynix. For Apple, though, it would invite more scrutiny than local Chinese companies. For now, this is more like a lobbying effort rather than a confirmed supply deal. There's no official statement from either of the parties. What is clearer, though, is the pressure behind such a request. AI demand has certainly made hardware a bottleneck, and companies are trying everything they can to bring things back to normal, even if that means making politically sensitive choices.

    • I did test it a month or so back, but ... the results I expect to be on the first page are not there.
    • Neowin is saying these are good prices? Thats crazy. As others have said they are just ######. Time for big tech to bring down the prices for real not this fake crap.
