What do you think of these specs...
 

OK I saw this advertised for a cheap price but I need a 2nd opinion as I don't know a whole lot about good system specs (I know I should).

Pentium 4 3.06 Ghz
256 RDRAM/ 80GB2 HDD
16X DVD ROM4 / 48X CD RW
64MB Graphics card
17" Monitor
Altec lansing speakers
Windows XP

A few things concern me, the so called "graphics card" and the speakers"

What do you guys amek of it? Crap? Could be better?

Not enough RAM, "graphics card" is scetchy, and altec lansing speakers are some picky. They work fine with my old computer, but sound like ass on my new one.

Get more details. Moslty who made the components like the "graphics card"

More ram, at least 512
Bigger vid card 128 Ti4600
Bigger monitor 21"
Klipesh Their is no substitute

yeah, what he said, basically 512 ram...good video card, and it doesn't even tell you what sound card...

Yeah I thought it would be a generally crappy deal, thanks for the help guys.

is the p4 one of those hyper threading ones? That alone would cost 6 or 7 hundred. eek: For a graphics card wait a month or so and get a cool Geforce FX biggrin: , And sound, Audigy 2 is nice.

if you want you could build your own system, it is pretty cheap...

OK just in:
This is something that I could mess around with if I wanted to though.

Intel Pentium 2.56GHz CPU
Intel 845EBG2 Mainboard
512MB DDR 333 RAM
80 GB Seagate 7200rpm HDD
1.44MD Panasonic Floppy Drive
LiteON 48x12x48 CD - RW
LiteON 16x DVD - ROM
Creative Soundblaster Audigy
Geforce Ti 4400 128MB Video Card
10/100 Network card
Aopen ATX Tower case.

All for $3550 Australian

This one I can make changes to though so tell me what you think of those specs.

This is what I decided to do:

P4 2.8 on an Asus
1GB RDRAM
120GB HD
Ti4600
Turtle Beach Santa Cruz
And the rest is just gravy...

Gonna cost me around 1800, mainly cause of the RAM

The santa cruz is a good card. Can't go wrong with asus.

well sorry to get a lil offtopic here but I have a big question... I want to get this P4 2.4gHZ northwood p478 , and also get the Asus P4PE MOBO with it....http://www.newegg.com/app/viewpro ... ption=p4pe but I don't know which one to get, can anyone help me? also does the asus come with an ethernet card already? and a sound card? i am confused as to what it also includes. if someone can help me on this I will forever be in debt

Do some research on google. Yer bound to find reviews and specs.

well it's all in computer language, I don't even know what a Serial ATA is...

i like altec lansing just not the old ones

what would be the best mobo for the pentium 4 2.4ghz?
