Opinions On My PC!

---Well thanks to some help on my recent post my computer has been pushed a little bit faster. I need your guys opinion on my PC and things that i could improve on with it! NOTE: I don't need a super fast computer.. just something inexpensive to run Star Wars Galaxies and thats about it. I just went out and really upgraded it a bit!

Operating System: Windows XP

CPU: 3400+ Athlon XP

RAM: 2.5GB

Hard Drive: 160gb

Video Card: GeForce 6800 Ultra.. PCIe.. 512mb.. (Thanks to all who replied to my last post. They were correct the ATI-Radeon i had was insufficient to run BF2 smoothly. I got a good deal on this card, it's AMAZING!!!)

Internet Access: Comcast Highspeed (With this and the RAM, this computer runs GREAT.)

Monitor: Samsung SyncMaster 20.1" Flat-Panel (I love this monitor!!)


---Thats about it for the important stuff. Overall i LOVE this computer but i need your guys opinion on it and other upgrades i should consider getting!

Well, when you install all the bs kids usualy install, you will need an upgrade.
If you build a separate box for innerweb use; email, aim, kazaa, all the spyware you can find, etc, and leave that fast box clean for gaming, you'll have the best use. On my game box I don't even have av.

Just out of interest... is your gaming system on the internet too? (i'm presuming on a network)
