If you don't know how to build one, Im sure someone you know, knows how....
You sure like numbers don't you?

I can't agree with you, that is such a waste of money for 99.99999999% of people out there. There are very few people that need more than 512MB of RAM, a 10,000 RPM hard drive, or a 512MB video card. In fact, right now, a 512MB video card is a waste of money for ANYONE.

Re: Can you please put these computers in order.

Sorry, i am thinking of if you are programming, depending on what program you are using, you need atleast 1 gig of ram to run it, and 2 gig is good...(I think the program name is Eclipse or something...my Uncle uses it, he is a higher up in IBM)...But If i was to build a desktop, that is what I would make ^^^. IF you have a 64 bit chip, and a program written for a 64 bit chip, you can realllllly tell a difference in the speed of it....
but I agree with you, a 512mb graphics card is kinda outragous, but If i was doing all the other stuff, I would go with it anyway.....

Thats just me, If its worth doing, its worth doing in excess...

Later
