It was a DIY project. Assembly time is about 30-45 minutes. It takes way
longer to install the OS, upgrades, applications, etc. Just make sure
you get approved memory. Also beware of the Black Edition Retail
CPUs----they don't come with heat sinks/fans, for $10 more the regular
retail version does come with heat sinks.

Sounds suh-weet! Is this for a build-your-own system or can you actually
purchase a system with these specs? I haven't checked out newegg.com yet
nor am I against a DIY system.

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Re: Slightly off topic: New computer
I think the amd 64x2 3.2 ghz cpu with 2gig of corsair ram on the asus
m2npv-vm all in 1 mother board rocks. Total cost of parts with a 500gb
hd was less than $500 from newegg.
Vista did not do me any good, but it loaded in about 8 minutes without a
hiccup. I run them on XP...flawless.

Greetings R:BASErs
I will soon be purchasing a new computer.
Would anyone be kind enough to offer a recommendation or two on what
to consider? Dual core? Quad core? Windows XP or Vista? Good/bad
brands? Best value, etc.?
Best database to use? No wait, I already have that!!
I'm probably staying with a desktop unit for now. Maybe a laptop by
year end.
Off list is fine unless others might be interested in the topic, too.
Thanks for any suggestions.
