What do I need?
So I need to buy a couple of custom computers. All they need to be able to handle is poker (and 1600x1200 resolution on a 2001FP) and the accompanying programs that go with it (PT, HUD, etc). I am looking to get away as cheaply as possible, for something of decent quality which will do what I need. Living in South America, it appears the following are my basic options (I know basically nothing about computers):
Processors: AMD Duron 3.4GHZ Athlon AMD 2.4GHZ Sempron Athlon AMD 2.6GHZ Sempron Intel Celeron 2.4 GHZ Intel Pentium IV 2.2 GHZ Intel Pentium IV 2.8 GHZ I have a couple choices of brands for boards (don't even know what that is or if it is important): Board Asrock Board Duron Board PC Chips Athalon Board Intel Board Foxcom Board Biostar Board MSI K8MM For Ram, I assume I need 512? Or is 256 enough? (It is DDR, which I assume is fine?) As far as a video card, can I just go with whatever is included or should I upgrade? Those available include: Radeon 64MB AGP TV OUT PCI Express 256 MB ATX X300 Geforce 128 MB TV Out Exp Geforce 256 MB TV Out Exp T Video ATI Radion 9250 Dual 128 MB Anything else I should be concerned about? Thanks, Oscar

I guess between $300-$450 a box [/ QUOTE ] I don't know how cheap computer parts are where you live but in the US (and even more so here in Sweden) that is very very litte. That will get you the cheapest budget computer availible at Dell. With that type of money I would rater buy a used computer.

Intel Pentium IV 2.8 GHZ
Board Intel (get a board with built in sound and nic) 512mb ram Radeon 64MB AGP TV OUT That will be cheap and high quality and fast enough for what you described.
