Ok so I have a Dell xps 400 with a tv tuner and media center. I have a satelite reciever hooked up to it with s video and it works fine. But the problem is if I run aim before I run live tv with media center the live tv says error restart media center. But say i start my computer up turn live tv...

Do you think I would be better to spend some extra money and upgrade the stock graphics card, or will it be sufficent?

Thanks again.

Ya I agree, the outsourcing to India is annoying as all get out.

I do like to build stuff, and I think it would be fun to tinker around with it, but thats a big investment on something I really have no experience in. Decisions Decisions..

Ya I know alot of hardcore computer guys look down upon the dell, I really dont think I could beat that price anywhere. It comes with 19" monitor and 1 year warranty.

Would it be possible to Install an Amd x2 into the system and sell the Pentium?

Ya Thats what I was thinking. I'm no computer expert, but that seemed like a good deal for 1000.

Ya, thats alil more than I wanted to spend, but it depends on how much of a better computer it would be than the dell.

Something around 19" would be nice.

Ya thats what it looks like.

I actually could probably get by with the ones I have. They are cambridge soundworks and it has a nice sub.

I have no prefrences on speakers either.
