my first computer was a gateway and i personally have to say that if you get a gateway, you get what you pay for. they may have longevity but i would prefer a HP.

Sure, but you can always build. Building is easy and fun. Some PC magazines in stores are now featuring How to Build portions in their magazines. Just buy the parts and everything else so you'll be set to build and play Crysis.

If you want a cheap and high performance processor, go AMD.

Neither. Buy an Alienware, buy a Mac, or build your own system. I've used machines from every major PC manufacturer, and all of them pale in comparison to the boxes I've built myself. (Yes, that's include the "stable," "high-quality" machines from Dell. :evil: ) OEM machines may be able to get the same frame rates as a custom, but they will never be as stable.

So seriously, man, save yourself heartache and aggravation build your own. It's cheaper and it's not that hard. If you need someone to point you in the right direction, message me and I'll be happy to help.

Since this is a gaming forum, I think he is probably trying to buy a computer that can play games. Enough said.

If you're the type that don't research on the product you want and just buy it, you're not a very smart buyer. Took me 3 months of research on what I wanted and saving the money. I was like you and wanted just anything in the mainstream, but when I researched the product and looked at it closer I knew this wasn't what I wanted. Gotta' research man, research.

Best Buy sells a lot of components (video card, memory, sound card, etc), so you can pick up at least a large chunk of your system there. It's worth an extra couple hundred bucks to build your own system, believe me.
so gateway its better for games then?PabbssPS3
Toss a coin. Some HPs are better than some Gateways, and vice versa.

what Processor will b the best to run crysis? AMD LIVE 2 OR INTEL DUO CORE, VIVI? OR ANOTHER?PabbssPS3
It's hard to predict which Crysis will like better. We won't know until it's released and someone runs some benchmarks.

However, I've been using AMD processors since the K6-2 came out and I've always been happy with them. Not only that, the motherboards and memory have generally been cheaper for AMD-based systems.
