Hey, here's the deal. My parents would like to upgrade the computer, or buy me my own. It's up to me. So I can either get a whole decent one of my own, or upgrade our old one into a massive beast. If i did get my own here's what it would be:
ASUS A7M266 Motherboad
T-bird 1400 MHz CPU
512 MB SDRAM PC133
40GB Hard Drive
Geforce2 GTS 64 MB DDR
16x10x40x CDR-W Drive
3.5" Floppy Drive
Mitsumi Internet Keyboard
Logitech Wheel Mouse
ATX 300w Tower Case
For 1799 CANADIAN. In american that'd be: ~1205. Good deal or no? I know there's no sound card\speakers there, so knock off a couple hundred (i would bring my sblive! and monsoon speakers from the old one over).
Here's option 2. Upgrade the current one to a (just speculation here) Athlon XP 1700, 512 megs ddr ram, nice motherboard, possible geforce3 ti200.
What do you guys think? I'm not looking for someone to make the decision for me, i just need some opinions.
