I'll continue to use my old case w/power supply, ram (ddr2 533), and hard drive. Good Deal?

I'll be buying all of this tomorrow night.

Integrated graphics?

A 6150 is good for basic tasks, and even some Prince of Persia , but won't be enough for newer games, unless you want them to run in 640x480 res, lowest settings, and 20 FPS

 

[tifc8lraz]

It's fine for now. The highest quality game I have right now is The Sims 2, so I don't think it will be a problem.

 

[tifc8lraz]

Integrated graphics?

Yes, it is.

 

[wolfram]

Yeah, it should be fine If a 6100 plays PoP: TT well, a 6150 should play the Sims 2 fine.

I'm just worried about my memory. I have Samsung DDR2 533 Memory, and I know the board has some issues with compatibility with the memory and some cpu's after reading the reviews, although I know most people who leave bad feedback are newbies who can't do anything. I would be the first person to say I am new at this, although. Anyway, it's scheduled to come tomorrow, and should because they are located only two states away (New Jersey - Massachusetts is only a four hour drive).
