you can build the same system cheaper just by buying the parts... $400 even will get you a decent computer

I bought a PIII 500MHz Dell Optiplex GX1 for my kids on ebay for $100 with shipping. If you dont need a PC-rocket dont waste the money.We need seperate human-only games for MP/PBEM that dont include the over-simplifications required to have a good AI

512 mb of memory is always going to be better than 256, but you have to make sure your motherboard can handle it.
And the OS, Win98/ME can't handle more then 384MB. (after that, perfance will go downhill or won't improve at best)Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.

maybe i can rummage together enough for a cheap computer like that one... five years is probably just enough before you need something new... but whats wrong with a one year warranty? this computer has gone five years with no need for a warranty"Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi

A one-year warranty from a manufacturer is utter crap. A computer should be able to last longer, so a longer warranty would be appropriate.
Besides, the warranty on most of the parts from the parts manufacturers is at least two years.Comment

but i never needed a warranty for the last computer... why would i need a warranty now?"Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi

Sounds kinda naive...
That your current PC never broke down, doesn't mean your new one won't.Comment

Try Dells, they are good values, and feature high-quality parts. I may be able to get you into a secret part of the site that offers really good deals.http://monkspider.blogspot.com/Comment

If you are using ME or 98, it's your own faultAnd the OS, Win98/ME can't handle more then 384MB. (after that, perfance will go downhill or won't improve at best)
Speer, if you want a computer, I can build you a better one for cheaper than that. I build quite a few on the side, and Dells are good, but you can only get a 2400 in that price range, and i wouldn't waste my money on that..."Mal nommer les choses, c'est accroître le malheur du monde" - Camus (thanks Davout)

warantees are for chumps
build your own computer. when something breaks, replace it.
you will save money.Comment

when something breaks, replace it? so why can't i just buy new parts if this compaq system for 449.00 breaks?
but is it really a good idea to build your own computer? I mean aren't there a whole lot of compatibilty issues you got to worry about?"Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi
