maybe..

does your monitor have a 120Hz setting at all?

a quad core would be more future proof than a dual core IMO

once games start supporting it, performance will probably increase

the best way to go, its expensive, but if you can get a quad core that runs @ or over 3 GHZ that would be the most powerful route to go because in the long run youre getting 12GHz compared to 6GHz from a dual core...

craigslist is easier, and you can usually get more money because its in cash. plus you deal locally so you dont have to worry about the whole hassle of getting shipping crap together.

and hey, you might make a new friend in the process.

however, if you have no luck posting a classified on craigslist, then you could try ebay

im sure someone would buy it... i would buy it... for like 200 bux-ish

Thanks for the advice, bro. Im worried about one thing though. The computer is really loud ( louder than normal). Probably because it uses all stock fans and stuff. Should I mention this when I list my computer ? TY.

nah, lol. you may mention it comes with stock coolers, but not the loudness. most people out looking for a computer like that are going to use it for parts anyway, like myself.

AMD Turion X2 RM-70 @ 2.2Ghz
ATI Radeon 3100 (Using Dynamic amount of shared memory, up to 2GB if i specify)
4GB 800MHz DDR2 RAM
250GB HD 5600RPM
DVDRW+- w/Labelflash
Windows Vista Home Premium 64bit
2 USB Ports
1 eSATA
SD/MS Card Reader
PCMCIA Slot
Wireless N Card in it, although my router only supports G >.>

14.1 Inch TFT, i think anyway

My only complaint about it that its battery life is only about 2 hours on a good day.

they already have something like that for pci express people that need low profile cards..

like an external pcie enclosure or something like that

i saw it a few weeks ago.. if i see it again ill post a link

well

my strategy is buying used computers on craigslist/take computers that are being given away or are in peoples trash, and using them for parts

i have a plethora of computer parts laying around my house because of this whole ordeal, and i usually make great finds on a weekly basis

for example a few weeks ago i found an old dell dimension laying in the trash, that i picked up.. and the only thing wrong with it was its hard drive. inside it i find a geforce 5 series, 450W power supply, a crappy p4 2ghz.. and like 512MB of SDRAM

and this isnt the only PC ive gotten with some decent parts in it..

but the point of the story here is that i got all of that crap for free...

9/10

if you went quad core 3.16, it would be a 10
