    Good desktop?

    http://www.dell.com/ca/en/dhs/produc...300.htm#tabtop

    I reconfigured it so
    hard drive = 120 GB
    Video Card = 128MB 9800 Radeon

    It came up to be about $2200 CAN (HOPEFULLY)


    Do you think there is anything wrong with it?
    Baaaaaaaaah

    It's wonderful also with changes you did . M/B I won't talk about it . Some don't like Intel M/B but I do . Also Asus M/B . For the mem , try to get as much DDR as you can . Good luck

    Do you think I should select P4 2.6 GHZ instead of 3.0 GHZ (save about $450 and then change my video card from 9800 to 9800 pro? And then I could simply buy a new fast processor seperately. Is it a better deal?

    Also, what do think is the difference between 9800 graphics card and 9800 pro? Pro costs about $300 more and is only about 50mhz faster than the original. I also don't see many stores selling 9800. They are always selling 9800 pro.

    Well.. Since it's for games and graphics stuff , the specifications you mentioned , are well enough . For the GC , I would say : Pro is better (never tried it but it should be for heavy duties ) and it should be faster and has more mem . That's my view point , ofcourse all back to you .

    Best of luck ...

    Here's a comparison of 9800 and 98000 Pro:
    http://www.dell.com/ca/en/dhs/learnm...opup_dimen.htm

    As you can see, the only difference is the controller speed (325MHz and 378MHz) respectively. I just wanted to know by how much the 9800 Pro is faster than 9800 since the price differs by quite a bit.
