I haven't built a new machine in so long I don't recognize some of your specs.
I've got:
- Dell Optiplex GX260 maxed out with two whole gigabytes memory
- Intel Pentium 4 2.4 GHz
- 512 GB nVidia AGP card
I can't remember what I spent on this setup... But I have FOUR of them... and there are days when, between me and my wife and two kids, all four are occupied and online. They keep running OK, so the money goes for kids clothes and stuff.
I believe your "Pentium 4 2.4 GHZ, is the same as a 2,400 MHZ.??????
ya thats an old system, AGP graphics card is like a dinosaur, that's what I had originally that I spent $1,600 on, basically I paid that much for a system that is non-upgradable

so for about $300 I went with the system I have now, although I was lucky and upgraded my PS a few years ago, and tower is sweet, so I just bought a MB, memory, and a Graphics Card.
