Comments on this comp/setup I\'m intending to buy?
I'm thinking of an HP. It has the 7200 RPM drive, 3200 something or other, 1 gig of memory, CD/DVD burner (nice), etc. All the stuff I need to ensure no slowdown when I eventually 8 table and surf the web simuletaneously.
A vid card. Two 19" Insignia CRT monitors (will add a third later) with 1600X1200 pixel thingies. Cost: Comp $800 Monitors $130 each Video card $135 Surge protection/internet security package $125 ~$1320 Whaddya think? |

Anybody?
Does this sound good for the price? Am I getting ripped off? Throw me a bone. |

Re: Comments on this comp/setup I\'m intending to buy?
I'm going to assume the "3200 something or other" is referring to the processor (AMD). This will be fast enough.
I think this looks good. I would suggest scrapping the "internet security package", and just downloading freeware programs instead (kerio personal firewall, windows anti-spyware, and maybe someone else can suggest a freeware anti-virus). Make sure the video card has 2 outputs (usually an svga and dvi). For the 3rd monitor you will need a 2nd video card (pci). |

The comp comes with a firewall. So all that other security stuff that guy was feeding me--that's all free? What about Norton anti-virus? Don't I have to buy that? |
