    Alright, well, I only need a desktop that can play one game, WoW.(all the other games I play are on consoles) I also need a comp with a big harddrive. SO far, I've been able to narrow it down to these:


    Option 1

    Option 2


    Option 3

    Now I know option three is the best gaming one, but I only need it to play a 2004 game >_<.

    We said dont get dell, they acutaly get paid to install spyware on their comps and charge to get it removed.

    none of the above.

    what motherboard do they use? what is the latency on the ram, which powerr supply does it use...

    wait they don't tell you... there MIGHT be a reason... you want to know the reason? THEY'RE CRAP

    look around there, for gaming go with either an Athlon, Pentium M, or Core Duo/Solo. Pentium 4s, Pentium Ds, and Pentium Extreme Editions aren't good gamers.

    if you can wait(for 2-3 weeks), go for a core 2 duo, thoses perform INCREADIBLY WELL.

    try looking around here and see what you can get, for 900$ I'd expect an athlon x2, 1GB of ram, and an x1800XT or 7600GT
