I've got a 186 IQ and got a 1600 on my SAT.

I have high levels of smartness.

personally, i was hoping for a specific list of items i could go to a store and find.

i dont want a duron. i want a p4. i know it'll drive the price a little, but it's what i want.

ok, well, I just had a post all typed out, but I hit the wrong button and went back in my history and lost it. Too bad.

Go to newegg.com and order the stuff. I came up with $363.99 for an intel baised 2.0 ghz cellery with 256 megs of ddr, 80gb WD 8 meg hard drive, 350 watt pws for P4 and a case with a window,

If you have to ask, onbaord is fine. unless you plan on playing unreal tourney or T2 or CS, onboard is fine.

i have no idea what mine is.. how did you test? or are you just pulling numbers from yer arse? :p

Um no there are many online IQ tests you can take.....not all of them are good. I took an official test when I moved to Fla from Califonia so they could place me in the right grade.
