Hi. Yeah pricy has it pegged, I bought an alienware laptop, 2.2ghz core2duo processor and 2gb ram, had them put windows xp on it. over 2000 dollars. It's fast and stuff but I don't like the keyboard and it certainly isn't optimal for gaming, missing the right control key, the delete key is where the right control should be, the top right hand is num lock, and they got the ctrl and fn keys backwards, fn is on the very bottom left, and ctrl is just to the right of that, I think ctrl should be on the outside. Course, a desktop wouldn't matter right? Here's a fact though, audiogaming doesn't take as much computer as videogaming does I believe. I'm running audio games fine and dandy, and I like it better too, on a soney Vaio here, it's a 1.66ghz core2duo, it has 2gb of ram, and it's running vista business. It sells for about 1800 dollars. As for a computer that'll run audio games good. My guess is almost anything you can buy today. Dual core processor based pcs are selling dust cheep they say because the cpu manufacturers want everyone to switch to their quad cores. anything you find on the shelf that runs fast and is in your price range and stuff will do I reckon. Maybe one thing to look out for is that it has a good offboard sound card, one that's actually a dedicated expansion card rather than one built into the motherboard. Creative makes excellent sound cards and I'm told turtle beach does too. I'm satisfied with Realtech too but I believe they're lesser in quality than creatives. To know whether you're using an offboard or onboard sound card, check out the back of the pc, is the soundcard jacks at the bottom of the tower placed in one of those long horizontal rectangular indentions? or are there like 3 or 6 jacks on the large rectangular part back there where all the other ports are, UUSB, PS2 for mouse and keyboard, etc. Unfortunately, I have found the best way to get a new computer is to just get one you fall in love with and that has good specks and try it, if it doesn't satisfy, take it back within the return period. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Casey" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, February 07, 2008 1:16 PM Subject: [Audyssey] Buy great gaming PCs?
