Hi, I just found this forum and it's pretty great. Now, there's an offer at best buy right now for an HP Pavilion Desktop PC featuring AMD Phenom X4 9550 QuadCore(M8530F) - it has the following specs:
5GB PC2-6400 (Exp. To 8GB)
750GB 7200RPM SATA
nVIDIA GeForce 9300GE - 256MB
comes with Windows Vista Home Premium 64-Bit SP1.
DVD drive and all that junk...
Price: $549.99 Canadian which is pretty **** cheap.
Now, I know the Geforce 9300GE is no good. I've been looking up on it and it's an entry level GPU. But what about the AMD Phemon X4 9550?? I read somewhere that it's pretty good. And customer reviews seem to say people are happy with the system and that it's fast. So would this be a good purchase? I would buy a better Graphic's Card and replace it. Spending another $200 on a graphics card would still make this a pretty cheap system for what your getting. Or is it? That's why I'm here... Opinions? Am i deluded?
Thanks for the help in advance!
