But if I get an awesome fast computer it should be able to handle it right? D:<

Because the shop said something abt support will be less for XP soon or somethingg.

Large corporation distribution of Windows XP was terminated on June 30, 2008.

Small corporation distribution of Windows XP is scheduled to be terminated on January 31, 2009.

It is still possible to use XP by purchasing Ultimate and downgrading to XP.

And yes, XP is infinitely better than Vista at the moment. Vista is still buggy and will remain so for quite some time. If you truly want the Vista look, override the files necessary, or use WindowBlinds and modify your desktop look from there. XP is rock solid compared to Vista in terms of stability.

So even if I get a new comp that I hope will last me at least 2-3 years, I should still get XP? =D

Just build your own computer. I gave my friend $1k (US Dollars) and he was able to build me a great comp.

19'' LCD monitor
2.54ghz duo core intel processor
4gb ram
500gb hd space
evga 8800GT vid card

I dont think alienwares are worth buying if you can make the same comp for under 1k.

Pirating ftw, remember your who your talking to here.

Well here's the comp I'm going to order D:

• Intel Q9450 Q9450 LGA775 CORE 2 QUAD 2.66GHz 12MB CACHE 1333MHz FSB
• Gigabyte GA-EP45-DS3P S775, P45, FSB1600, DDR2, 2xPCIEx16, SATA2, 3x1394a, 2xGbLAN, ATX

• Logitech 910-000100 (LOG3623) Optical Laser Mouse Gaming G5 Refresh 2007 Ed
• Microsoft Windows XP Pro OEM Windows: OEM CD

Btw. it's exactly $2000 AU or $1913 US D:

That's a really good rig. Not much experience with that GFX card (I prefer to stick with Nvidia cuz 8800 Ultra vid cards are the top right now, used for all the Ultimate gaming machines and winner of most benchmarking competitions.) Although they released the new 9800 series, the 8800 is still known to be the best. 9800 saves you a bit more electricity tho, takes less power to run it.

But yea, I looked up the prices for most of the parts there and they add up to around 1400~1600 USD so u're getting a pretty decent price for it since u don't know how to build your own comp.

Woot~ I order it tonight sometime =D

Yeah that gfx card is a radeon one.. i looked on that tech net thing and it says it's teh 3rd best one out D: must be good!

Thanks guys!

I JUST PICKED UP MY NEW COMPUTER TODAY!! WITH A MASSIVE 22" SCREEN WOOT :D:D

NOW... I have no games to play.. ._.;;

Btw when I right click on My Computer.. it says I have 3.25 Gb RAM.. is that right? Cos I think I'm supposed to have 4Gb D:

Congratulations on your new computer :D I have an ATI Radeon 64mb so it is good enough to play Guild Wars but not that good to play the game I want Crysis.
