Just got back from Montana where I upgraded my mom from:
CPU - XP2000+
Memory - 512MB
Video - ATI 7200
HD - 20GB
To:
CPU - Athlon II X4 620
Memory - 4GB
Video - ATI 4670
HD - 640GB
The only thing that she doesn't like about it is, is that she doesn't have enough time to get a cup of coffee after she hits the power button before the computer is waiting for her.
I showed her how easy it was to connect to her HD TV and with the wireless keyboard and mouse she can either play her games or do her bowling work while in her easy chair.
My wife and my brothers and I were watching V off of ABC's web site on my mom's HD TV while my mom is doing a Jigsaw game on the computer monitor. The sound was routed to the HD TV and my mom is gigglin because she can hear the game sound effects coming in over the TV.
