Tips for my Machine
hey I'm looking for suggestions on building a comp to run 2 MMO's a web browser and some music in the background. that is what I usually do with it on a day to day basis. I play L2 and SWG. this would be a dream machine for me so I would keep the stuff in mind but i'm not planing on getting it now so I have no budget to worry about. I have always used Intel but thats just what has come with my comp(i'm not sure if they are better or not, so just give me your suggestions) I only need the box, I can handle the accesories my self
i'm not sure what other kind of info you need so post what ever that might be and I will update this thread as needed Thanks

a standard intel core 2 duo build should do everything you need with 2gb ram and semi decent graphics card. intels arent better than AMDs and AMDs arent better than intels, its all swings and roundabouts, at moment youre best on price/performance to get intel, but thats subject to change when AMD bring out their new chips, plus both companies keep cutting prices.
go for similar set up to the build in my sig and you wont go far wrong, maybe you can go for better processor or better graphics card, maybe if going for vista of XP 64bit you will want 4gig ram. Maybe youd prefer the p5k to the p5b.
