I have been think of getting a dell, new or refurbished. my question is mainly about ram type and it's performance. this PC will mainly be used for gaming, put also heavy surf'in. the cpu will be a P4 2.53 gig or higher
the options are:
model 8300: has Dual channel DDR SDram ,PC 3200, price about 1500 dollars with 3.06 gig cpu (no slower cpu's available)
model 8250, has dual channel RDRAM, PC 1066, price about 900 dollars with 2.53 GIG cpu
model 4550 has DDR SDram, PC 2700, price about 750 dollars with 2.53 Gig cpu
I don't want to spend any more than possible, but want the most bang for the buck without taking a big performance drop while gaming.
any advice?
