  hmmz, the one that I listed has 4 ram slots, so no issue on the number of slots I guess.

  yeah xp no need 3gb ram, but ram so cheap now anyway. take for bette rgaming/ multitasking + can upgrade to vista if need.

   

  why intel processor? I was told the only diff is that intel is slightly faster, but the cost is like much higher....

  haha. it's ok as some people have likings for AMD. i don't mind, although i personally prefer Intel to AMD as i have compared the performance of AMD to Intel since my primary school times.

  Pay a couple of bucks more and get a Seagate or Hitachi HDD instead.

  Hmm...but if he's not overclocking, and the ports on the motherboard (PCIe, DDR2 etc) is enough for his needs, then I think it should be ok to stay with Palit.

  besides price and gaming performance, do keep in mind that AMD processors generate more heat than Intel ones.
