i never hesitate to try beta products from Microsoft or anyone else and can honesly say they never cause me any grief except maybe the odd bug or 2, nothing major.

Alienware PC's are overpriced. Selling a 2005 Gamer PC with a ATI RADEON? 9550SE 128MB is just a joke as there are already 2 newer generations of graphic cards from ATI available and the card does not suit such a PC....kinda like driving a Porsche with a Gremlin motor in it...next time you look for a Gamer PC, ask on MercuryEngine and you will be sorted out with the Hardware you need and then you can order it in a store where they build it together for you and you will save at least 500 bucks. :wink:

That's what i thought too. The sell it under Gaming PC...what the heck. A ATI Radeon 9550SE is a low budget graphic card.

I only want the Case.

i guess my Athlon 2800+ which i paid ?140 squid for is a bit dated now i have an ASUS A7N8X deluxe with 512 mb ddr333, if i go for a 64 bit processor, do i need a new board & RAM?

[arielus]

you need a new board, that's for sure.

about the ram, you can use the one you've got, but it is recommended you get some ddr400 instead.

I dunno... there's not a whole lot of games / programs that really stress 64-bit processors or some of the better vid. cards... let alone make the diff. between ddr330 and 400 noticable. An upgrade to better DDR or new mobo/different kind of RAM or PCI 16x support would be simple down the line when you'd actually need them. I don't know why you'd spend the $$$ on a five year warranty, though sightless... does it have special implications with upgrades or something? You're going to want better parts in 2 years tops.

I like the color you chose...conspiracy blue.
