- that is cool. thank you. (i probably need a video card bump too, but lets not go crazy.) -- nm - TFox Nov 3, 18:28 10
  - Keep in mind that we're getting to the point in the year where you can get a solid Dell system for about $500. - David Nov 3, 18:30 9
    - This is a solid Dell system I got 2.5 yrs ago for about $500, actually. - TFox Nov 3, 18:31 8
      - We rarely go more than a couple of years on each desktop. Performance boosts from Moore's Law still happen in our experience. -- nm - David Nov 3, 18:34 2
        
        IIRC, Moore's Law is mutating from chips getting faster to being able to fit more processors on a single chip. - TWuG Nov 3, 18:36 1
        
        This is problem people knew was coming from the Sega Saturn. I'm surprised there wasn't more forward planning about it. -- nm - David Nov 3, 18:37

      - Does it have a decent processor? - Jelly Nov 3, 18:33 1
        
        I don't think I care $500 worth. I know I don't, actually. -- nm - TFox Nov 3, 18:37
What type? That matters. -- nm - David Nov 3, 18:23 3
- 1GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 667MHz- 2DIMMs -- nm - TFox Nov 3, 18:25 2
  - You could swap them out for a pair totaling 4GB for about $100. -- nm - David Nov 3, 18:28 1
    - Looks like I could stack a 2GB set on top of the existing for like $50 to get to 3GB, which is way fine, I think. -- nm - TFox Nov 3, 18:29
