| Re: help me i need to buy a pc Take a look here http://www.anandtech.com/guides/ at the midrange and entry level buyers guides. It really depends on how much you want to spend, and whether you want 64 bits. Anandtech usually has very good information! There are many other hardware review sites also... |

| Re: help me i need to buy a pc If I were you I would hang around a bit longer for VIA's new chipset K8T890 which supports PCIe (PCI-Express). Abit has already released a motherboard based on this chipset so hopefully it'll be in stock at most retailers although I would wait for a review or two, especially if you want a new chipset like VIA's for nVidias nForce4 unless you want to be a guinea pig. //Danne |

When do you want to buy the PC? If you have time, wait a few weeks and buy a ASUS motherboard with SLI functionality, 2 Geforce 6800 Ultra's and an AMD 64 FX55. Then you have a GREAT PC! ![]()
