    It's from the New Jersey Institute of Technology - the college I'm going to. They've worked out a deal with Dell for the low price.

    What the???? 4GB of RAM?

    Yeah, go for it. It's worth the money. Though you might need a more powerful video card if you want to play MTW2.
    Ja mata, TosaInu. You will forever be remembered.

    Been to:

    Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.

    A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?

    Yeah, 4GB RAM will save you buying / upgrading for a loooooong time. Along with that Intel procesor, you'll be able to multi-task like you've never multi-tasked before!

    Would this system be the standard fan-cooled type? I'm considering getting a water-cooling kit with my next system, which should let me overclock like I've never overclocked before!


    Currently developing Rome: Total Gameplay (RTG), an unofficial mod for vanilla Rome: Total War v1.5
     Features: improved battles, new units to recruit, more buildings to construct, a modified campaign map, and much more!

    Quandro isn't the design version of the Geforce cards is it? Only good for OpenGL or something?

    I'm probably wrong.

    The Quadro refers to the workstation line from Nvidia which is optimized for professional 3d applications. The FX3450 retails for ~$1000.

    Wow. Practically worth buying the machine, selling on the graphics card and sticking in a cheap thing. Would make you $900...
