Reason's for wut u guys might think is madness. First off RAM, he will be gettin another 1GB later, its just not in the budget and he wants a dual-core w/ a powerful graphics card. No case yet, he will just use his desk for now till he can save money for a case. Conroe is not in the budget, mobos are too expensive and lowest cpu so far is $180 if that. Also, do not flame on ATI for their drivers, i have a X1900XT and i have no problems wut so ever. The X1900s have just decreased in price due to the upcomin X1950XTX. Suggestions would be nice.
