    f you absoloutely HAVE to buy from circuit city then you wont go too far wrong with this one http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/HP-P...47561/catOid/-12962/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do

    Having checked out the specs, it's got power in all the right places, plenty of memory, a nice big hard drive & a processor that wont let you down when you need it. My only gripe about this machine is the fact that it uses onboard video. That is never a good thing, especially for a gaming machine. That said however, it will let you use up to 256mb of system memory & it's a Radeon chipset. I would be hapy to go with this machine, but make sure with sales people at the store that you can add your own graphics card if you want to & switch off the onboard graphics, because you may find you get let down in that area.
