[DecentOldMan]

I want to know your idea on specs of a low budget pc that would be mainly used for online gaming, cheerz!

What kind of games? Budget?

 

[veg1992]

what do u mean by online games.. because your average Pentium 3 can do that with ease... unless you mean multiplayer games like CS:S or WoW or Halo

 

[peterhuang913]

or Maplestory or Runescape, depending on his preference

those are included with regular online games.. but Maplestory is more my cup of tea i just thought of that Date Rape Music Video on Youtube

EDIT if you wanna see it YouTube - MapleStory MMVate Rape there it was... but the Maplestory characters are too cute.. make em less anime like!!!

Pentium 4 Cedar Mill w/ Stock Intel Cooler
Gigabyte p35-ds3r
Crucial Ballistix RAM
