I JUST DID A TOTAL PART CHANGE look below http://canadacomputers.com/index.php?do=ShowProduct&cmd=pd&pid=013719&cid=CPU.84 http://canadacomputers.com/index.php?do=ShowProduct&cmd=pd&pid=013495&cid=RAM.835 http://canadacomputers.com/index.php?do=ShowProduct&cmd=pd&pid=012178&cid=MB.157 http://canadacomputers.com/index.php?do=ShowProduct&cmd=pd&pid=010342&cid=999.243.390 http://canadacomputers.com/index.php?do=ShowProduct&cmd=pd&pid=008614&cid=CS.664 http://canadacomputers.com/index.php?do=ShowProduct&cmd=pd&pid=006901&cid=PS.808 http://canadacomputers.com/index.php?do=ShowProduct&cmd=pd&pid=001229&cid=SW.815 http://canadacomputers.com/index.php?do=ShowProduct&cmd=pd&pid=013996&cid=CR.184 http://canadacomputers.com/index.php?do=ShowProduct&cmd=pd&pid=010282&cid=HD.96 This bring the cost to $1020.63CND w/xp home oem and $894.10 no xp Please send me any changes you would make, I know i went a little overboard with the stuff. The os will be XP if i can get my hands on and oem copy. Also if I buy OEM windows do I have to give support?? I know that you cant use the phone support for OEM, but can you use internet support, like chatting with a tech? This will be used for Pictures (photoshop, editing, slide shows) internet and NO gaming.
Is this a gaming rig? if it is, I would go with 2 gigs of ram (same kind as you wanted) and a better video card. Possibly the 8 series or anything above a 7600 for nvidia. Everything else looks good though. Are you going to get XP or Vista?
No, i am building this for someone who is over 75 so they dont play games, just surf the web and do alot with pictures (photoshop) I am going with xp because she does not want to have to learn a new operating system. and xp nevery seems to use more then a gig of RAM, vista on the other hard (vista ulitmate) likes to use 1.4gbs all the time.
Well that pc looks good then.... I commented on your other post, the one on your return paper. So check that out
do you know the answer to the oem software question i have? oh and do you think 150 is ok to charge for work?
If this is for a person that is 75 then it is far more than she needs but will last her a lifetime all i would alter is the optical drive go with Pioneer or Plextor not LG.
