Good But Cheap Pc

my sister got a compaq at office depot for 400 bucks

250 gb hard drive

1gb ram

lightsribe cd/dvd burner

its really nice and so cheap, i have a compaq right now ( really crappy one spec wise) but it performs like a alienware

 

Goto www.buyxg.com

They sell amazing gaming compters at really low prices

 

i doubt it would perform liek an alienware unless it is similarly configured and you aren't doing anything intensive.

remember it's what's under the hood that determines performance though, not name.

for your needs a 300$ cheep + a ram uprade would also be a possibility.

 

alienware sux

 

its not really nice. probably (if lucky) ddr-400, but probably (MAX) ddr-333. probably ata 100 hard drive. most likely a pentium 4 like 2.4Ghz. eh? that some where in the right place?

 

ddr333 coss more than ddr400 beleive it or not... so i am willing to bet it is 400. DDR400 has been out for like 3 years now.

 

tigerdirect.com has cheap comps

 

Yes custom built comps are better if you know what your doing and you know where to get the parts =)
