I thought I'd celebrate selling out by getting a computer by motherfuckerfoodeater 10/14/2006, 7:42pm PDT
I've been making due with various laptops for the last million years and I thought it would be fun to get a new desktop and check out whatever it is you kids are playing these days. In order to take some of the labor our of the process, I thought it might be good to get something like this, and then add the components I need. Unfortunately, I'm not that technical, so I have questions.

1) I'm guessing that when I have one of these I also need to buy memory, a cpu, and a hard drive. What am I missing? Is the onboard audio sufficient, or should I be thinking about getting a seperate card for that as well?

2) What's the deal with the number of pins in a memory slot? Also, if I want to be able to keep this thing around for a while by switching out components, what memory types should I be looking at?

3) If 2 cpus have the same clock speed, what's the advantage of a dual processor or 64-bit cpu over the old-fashioned kind. If it makes the difference, the only demanding task I'd be using this for besides gaming would be running VMware Server.

4) Do I need a PCI express slot for anything other than a graphics card?
