so

vista
amd x2 4400+
nvidia 8600gt 521mb
2gb ram
160gb harddrive.

all for 400$? its alright

decent, probably could have built better, but not bad for the price.

AMD Opteron 180 @ 2.8ghz Air | Evga 8800GTS | 2GB G.SKill DDR

yeah not bad, just overclock it and downgrade back to windows xp

Intel Q6600 | Xfx 680i LT | Xfx GeForce 8600 GTS XXX (730/1130) | G.Skill 4GB DDR2 | 300GB WD

vista > xp by far

E6600 @ ~3.2, EVGA 780i, ASUS 4870, 4GB G.SKill PC8000 cas5 @ 2v, 2x320GB 1x500GB SATA2 HD's

#5....u just died.....

XP > Vista.....

"L, did you know that, shinigamis only eat apples?"

on this rig and 2gb of ram, xp will always win. if you have 4gb+ vista runs fine

i havent encountered a problem yet with vista..

xp > vista

i just setup vista on my neighbors computer and it is garbage.

Intel Q6600 | Xfx 680i LT | Xfx GeForce 8600 GTS XXX (730/1130) | G.Skill 4GB DDR2 | 300GB WD

I went the super value way.

AMD 4400+ (OC'ed to a measly 2.65)
NF61S Mobo
2 GB g.skill pc-6400
8400 GS (OC'ed as far as it can go)
ExcelStor 80 GB
LiteOn Burner
Rosewill Case
Scythe Fan

AND an AL1717FB monitor. It totaled around 520 lol. Not bad for it including a monitor

You shouldve gotten a better gfx card though. Im regretting getting such a cheap one. Wish i got at least a 8800GS
