Boss, just get the Comp with the Dual-Core P4 and get a new Processor, Blind should know a bit more about a Core 2 Duo.Core 2 Quad Processors than I do.

Yep, if it's socket 775, then get that "dual core" P4 machine and for cheap you can get a respectable e8400 in the future. Even a q6600 or something.

UH...so how about some real specifications? Like what kind of processor exactly, what kind of RAM, how much RAM, video card, etc.

is that what you looking for Blind.

And where I got the Processor from??

The guy I purchased the PC from gave me the Number of his freind that helped him build the system and that guy is a hole seller and gave it to me at cost and said he would install it for free


And they say chivalry is dead...

He offered this before I invited them to my 800 acer hunting land next weekend all payed for by me .I feel its the least I can do
