Dell Dimension 4600 Series: Pentium® 4 Processor at 2.80GHz with 533MHz front side bus Operating System: Microsoft® Windows® XP Home Edition Memory: 1GB Dual Channel DDR SDRAM at 333MHz (2x512M) Hard Drive: 120GB Serial ATA Hard Drive,7200RPM Video Card: New 128MB DDR ATI RADEON™ 9800 Graphics Card with TV-Out and DVI Sound: Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 (D) Card with Dolby® Digital 5.1 capability Speakers: Altec Lansing® ADA215 Speakers Modem: 56K PCI Data Fax Modem DFAX Network Card: New Dell Gigabit Ethernet $1,347.00 couple questions 128MB DDR GeForce FX 5200 Graphics Card with TV-Out and DVI or 128MB DDR ATI RADEON™ 9800 Graphics Card with TV-Out and DVI I went with the Radeon, as its specs are better, does anyone own a FX and think its better? Also I need to setup a wireless router, as well as wireless ethernet cards, as my system comes with a Dell Gigabit Ethernet card, so need suggestions on types, I have 2 comps, they hopefully will be on different floors... any suggestiosn to the above system and wireless cable stuff would be appreciated. No comments about how its about time....*glares at talon and X2* |

Go Radeon! Do you really need the fax (maybe save $50)? Make sure you have a wireless infrared mouse. And many batteries. If you watch Best Buy, they periodically have sales and mail-in rebates for wireless routers and cards. - Netgear seems best for quality/price - Try for the USB-wireless plug ($15 cheaper and more flexible) - Change your router's admin pw immediately - If your distance is over 20 feet or through a wall or floor, use the 802.11g, otherwise go for the cehaper 802.11b You can build it yourslef, but the $400 extra will get you a guarantee and exchangeability and immedite satisfaction (you decide if it's worth it) |
