    Just for fun i was building a PC on the HP website... I was wondering how good this PC would be. Here are the specs:

    Operating system - Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

    Processor - Intel(R) Core(TM) 2 Quad processor Q9505 [2.83GHz, 12MB L2, 1333MHz FSB]

    Memory - 8GB DDR3-1066MHz SDRAM [4 DIMMs]

    Hard drive - 640GB 7200 rpm SATA 3Gb/s hard drive from 500GB

    Graphics card - 512MB ATI Radeon HD 4350 [DVI, HDMI, VGA adapter]

    Primary optical drive - LightScribe 16X max. DVD+/-R/RW SuperMulti drive

    Networking - Integrated 10/100/1000 (Gigabit) Ethernet,

    Sound Card - Integrated 7.1 channel sound with front audio

    What do you guys think???

    Well, reasonably powerful for processing work, but completely unable to play games. As long as you have no interest in gaming, it's not a bad system, though 8GB of RAM is completely pointless.

    bugzy, edit your sig to conform to forum specs ASAP. yours is 320x149 pixels & 1 line of text.
    4. If you want to use both text and image in your signature the image should not be more than 500 pixels wide and 100 pixels tall, and you can use up to three lines of text.

    Yes, that's about all there is to it.

    Well, that depends where you're buying the PC from, what the PC's case and power supply will allow and what your budget is.
