    Need help building new computer ~ PLEASE :)

    If I go with the 22" then it will be the Acer if I go with the 24" then it will be the Dell. Hubby thinks I should get two 22" but I don't really think I'd like having Dual Monitors. He does at work and claims its the best. I would rather have simplicity and go with one 24"

    Okay, just placed my Velocity order. Now I need to go to Newegg and get the RAM. Any good wireless keyboard/mouse sets that you could recommend? Or are there better places to buy? I also have to buy my monitor too. Trying to decide if I want 2 22" widescreen, or 1 24".

    Thanks so much for the replies! I don't do any 3D work. I only do print design and photo work. I also don't access old files often so I will be writing them to DVD's to store off of the computer. I also have a external Western Digital hard drive that holds 100gb (I think)! If you think 4gb is...

    Okay, I want to do 3gb to save some money. Hubby sees otherwise (even though he doesn't use the computer). So if I go the 3gb route, will I still lose 5% like mentioned above?

    Okay I'm posting this here because I'm getting no replies by posting separately. My plan is to buy 3gb of RAM from Newegg and add it. BUT, my husband thinks I should max it out at 4gb total, even though Vista can only use 3.25gb (correct). But, if I go my way, with 3gb. What's the best way to do...

    Quick Question about adding RAM - PLEASE!

BUT, my husband thinks I should max it out at 4gb total, even though Vista can only use 3.25gb (correct). But, if I go my way, with 3gb. What's the best way to do it? Buy 3x1gb from Newegg? What about the...

    Ohhh good to know. I just really don't even think I'd use up 320gb to begin with, let alone 640gb. So maybe I will dump the 2nd hard drive and add the video card from Velocity. Thanks!!!

    Okay here it is. I'm ordering tonight. Please look this over to make sure everything looks good. I added the 2nd hard drive, although I really wish I could have my 2nd be like 80gb instead of 320gb, I don't need that much. Then I'll add ram through Newegg. Case GX Black - Velocity Micro...

    CHEAP computer needed, just for internet, email and photo storing

    My brother is in need of a computer to replace his laptop that has broken. He only needs a computer for the internet, emailing and to store his photos. He doesn't play any games, run any special programs or editing software. Where's the best place to look for something like this?

    So if I stick with the 32bit Vista, should I only get 3gb of RAM?

    What does this mean exactly? That it can't even use 4gb? I'll be purchasing the new Adobe CS3 that just came out so it should be Vista compatable.

    I agree. I at least want to buy the RAM from Newegg. As long as it won't void the warrenty I'm all for saving some money - espcially that much!
