I did it- I brought a fancy computer for cheap!

check this out:
http://www.trademe.co.nz/a.asp?id=76786879

Sure, the video cards looking a little low, but MAN! Look at the amount of software and ram. And its a dual core!

And it comes with vista rc1, and when that finishes, Windows XP Pro!!!

also, the Asus 7300GS scores around 5000 in 3dmark03. Better than my old laptops 3000.

Think about it.
-The RAM is nearly twice as fast, and theres 3 times more than my laptops
-The HDD is over 3 times bigger
-The video card is nearly twice as fast, with double the memory and a pci-e interface instead of AGP
-Windows Vista RC1 means slightly improved gaming performance
-17" moniter!

I have a small feeling Im gonna have alot of fun with this computer biggrin.gif biggrin.gif

P.s, should i partition the hdd so when I uninstall vista when the time runs out, I can easily install XP Pro onto one partition?

You'd be better off asking that question on a specially dedicated group of forums. I recommend gamefaqs.com if you're a member, they have a very knowledgeable PC board.

Good score,nice price,just one thing,will 3Gb CPU be enough or does dual core make that no problem? I would have bought it too at that price and the guy has a genuine reason for selling and it's damn near brand new! Well done
