prebuilt parts vs build your own parts

[wafflehammer]

If you plan on buying more RAM, you want the 64-bit Vista instead of the 32-bit he has listed...
32-bit Windows Vista won't be able to recognize all 4gigs of RAM...
Correct me if I'm wrong.

you're right,but 64bit is same price as 32bit

**** i got shafted when i bought vista....

when i bought it i got 32 bit for like 20 bucks less then 64 bit...

ok, the point to that build was that you can STILL get value parts for less when building your own. I did my best to exactly match what was listed with the given pc from bestbuy. and someone asked about the ram. supertalent is ok, not the best. the os.... the site did NOT specify 32 bit or 64 bit... so I don't know. I guessed, based off how prebuilt computers shave dollars anywhere they can. and there was no monitor listed, but as stated, you could get one and still stay under their pricetag
