[AccessD] OT - FW: New computer

Thanks.  I don't want to hear a peep out of my comp.  So I'll probably try
to pay a little more and get higher quality components. Dell has been so
rock solid reliable for me and easy to buy, I will for sure check out their
configurator.  But you never know what's on sale at Fry's.  So a trip there
is in order.  

Machine #2 for Noah will need real good graphics.  He's gaming now with his
friends on-line.  So integrated graphics may not do it for him.

This system gets its low price from using an integrated graphics card and a
low end chipset.  It has a reasonably powerful quad core processor and lots
of ram.  For gaming it will *require* an addin graphics card.  Other than
that it is powerful enough to last awhile.

For a hundred more I would go with this one:

ZT Windows 7 Pro Desktop AMD Six-core Processor

Buying new now I would go for the Intel i7.

ZT Windows 7 Pro Desktop Intel Core i7-2600 Processor Item # 583919

It is *much* faster.  This is the latest and greatest from Intel, quad core
with hperthreading. 
Probably the best out there for a few months.
