Well, people have been giving you reasons to wait. I think Vista is coming out next fall, so that's a bit of a wait.

You can get a pretty nice computer for 1700 dollars. I have a gateway and I have had it for a couple of years now with no problems. Now a days allmost all the computer makers offer LCD monitors with their computers now. I dont know if you every gone to Costco Wholesale, but they have great computer for sale and a six month return policy for all their computers. Right now they have Sony, Gateway and HP desktops, at least the one near where I am at.Comment

Recent benchmarks by Australian PC User Magazine (unfortunately not available online) actually show a slight decrease in speed when comparing 1GB of ram to 2GB (using DDR-400 modules)... there is such a thing as too much ram, it seemsOriginally posted by alva
I saw some benchmarks recently and having more than a single gig isn't really worthwile (yet).Comment

If you want a machine that will be current for at least two and a half years , I'd recommend you get what I got ( except for the processor - get a dual-core instead of the single core one I got ) :
ASUS A8N SLI Deluxe mobo
2 GB RAM
200 GB SATA disk ( I'd recommend you go for something bigger )
NVIDIA GeForce 6600
AMD Athlon 4800 + dual core ( or an Athlon FX , if you really need it )
A flatscreen CRT ( minimum 17 inches )
Set of Creative speakers
A nice mechanical keyboard with clicky keys
A Microsoft mouse ( or a Logitech laser mouse if you want very high sensitivity )
A DVD-RW drive
The whole thing should put you back by about 1200.00 $ ( assuming that a conversion from Indian rupees to dollars is accurate ) .Comment

Yeah, it's Alva.
Look, don't bother with Civ4. Galactic Civilizations 2 has much lower system requirements. So if you play that instead, you can *both* help your nation *and* this poor guy from Luxembourg.DISCLAIMER: the author of the above written texts does not warrant or assume any legal liability or responsibility for any offence and insult; disrespect, arrogance and related forms of demeaning behaviour; discrimination based on race, gender, age, income class, body mass, living area, political voting-record, football fan-ship and musical preference; insensitivity towards material, emotional or spiritual distress; and attempted emotional or financial black-mailing, skirt-chasing or death-threats perceived by the reader of the said written texts.Comment

www.chegitz.net makes a kick ass computer.Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...Comment
