Are these good parts?

[edbug]

ASUS M2N SLI DELUXE

AMD X2 5200 Dual-Core

2 x 8600gt

4gb ram

With 64-bit windows vista basic, would this machine run fast, for gaming and multi taking (for me that is few internet tabs, messenger, live radio and windows live mail programme).

Would it start up quick?

Would everything work well with eachother?

Thanks for any help!

Yes, those parts are good. It would perform very well in most games to.

2 8800 GT would be lots better or even 1. and the # of programs u have starting at start up has more to do with how fast it will start than what the computer is.

No

i have a 8600gt it sucks go ahead and buy a 3870(ATI) or a 9600gt (Nvidia)thats the best or a 8800gtx if you can afford it but avoid the 8600gt if you do get anything make sure its a 512mb ddr3 at least ive built 8 computers and i built y first as my wn adn messed up with graphics card

You better buy one 8800GT.

hmmm if i was to sell the two 8600gt's would that raise most funds towards a 9600gt or maybe even 9800gtx?

Now I think best price/performance cards are 9600GT, 4850 and 8800GT.
