I have 2 choices:
1) take the computer my dad had in his office (2003/2004 dell with 512 mb ram, I assume at least 2.4 Ghz proccessor, windows 2000 proffesional, hard drive is 160 gb....I think). Although its far from........elite.......I figure it will suffice for general gaming. I plan to buy an xbox 360 or ps3, so my computer will be used for secondary gaming (Halo, world of warcraft, guild wars, counterstrike). I currently have the 5500 video card....and I've determined that Ill get a 6600 (I think), which means Ill have at least 768mb ram.
2) I buy a new computer (which will run me around 800 dollars with video card and stuff; compared to the max 200$ for video card in option 1 above). If I do this, Ill buy a pc with 1gb ram, and maybe an athlon proccessor( video card will add ram and Ill buy ram cards...maybe).
Im not the type to play the most challenging (graphics wise) games like doom 3, fear etc., but middle/high games like world of warcraft. If I buy a new computer and a new console, it will run me more than $1200, but If I stay with an older computer, I might not be able to play the newest games....I failed to explain my prediciment correctly above........ I think I'll ask people at best buy and compusa for their opinions too.
