Q6600 Core2 Quad processor running at 2.4 GHtz per core.

System Bus speed: 1066Mghz

Cache: 2 x 4MB L2

3 Gigs of DDR 2 memory

500 gig HD 7200rpm

Radeon HD 2600 pro gfx card

Vista premium

Yeah, I know the graphics card isn't that great. So I'm going to buy a Geforce 8800 soon. Still, even tho the 2600 doesn't match the rewst of the computer in performance, I installed Bioshock today, turned to the highest settings at 1600x1050 and it it's running smooth.

7/10 The card is a little weak but the rest of the system is very nice.

Weak graphic card, As long as you aren't playing Crysis it should work fine.

bioshock runs great, so does Call Of Duty 4 and Unreal Tournament 3, but I downloaded the Crysis demo and it only ran decent at lower to mid range settings.

Crysis was one of the big reasons why I bought this to begin with, the rest of my sytem can handle it no problem, but the graphics card is holding it back. I'll definitely be buying a new one. Crysis is incredible.

Very good deal, I'd give it a 9/10 for the money.

Futureshop, it was on sale last week.

http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?logon=&langid=EN&sku_id=0665000FS10093844&catid=10607

I also got these speakers:

http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?logon=&langid=EN&sku_id=0665000FS10093051&catid=11553

Which totally kick ass.

Plus I got their 3 year warranty service plan which costed 200 extra.

With the speakers, the warranty and taxes it came to nearly 1500. Still, a really good deal imo.

Also the tower looks awesome, it has blue lights, tons of extra ports, and just looks really slick. it's almost too cool looking to come from a place like futureshop.
