built a new computer

I bought a new barebones kit at geeks.com, it is a dual core AMD 7550 with 2 gig of ram. Not a cutting edge, but a nice step up from my old 2400 XP+ AMD

Also bought a new 500 gig SATA drive for it and i run my old storage drive as a program drive now. I installed MC5, BiaB, and RB on it. Everything runs smooth except RB, which was stuttering and stopping. I had to reinstall the audio, and video drivers and re setup RB. So far it is nice. Right now it has XP Pro SP2 on it, and i hope soon to upgrade to wind7 64 and 6 gig of ram

Should be a nice fast machine then. How do you register MC5 with out internet, i forgot?

I'd Seize the day but i can't quite reach it!

    cool deal, Rob!

    I hope you didn't pay too much for a dual core, tho.

    $249 for a quad core bare bones kit with AMD Athlon II X4 2.8GHz, 24X DVD Burner, 2 sticks of 4G DDR3 1333MHz (total of 8G, you'd need Vista or Win7 64bit to access all of it), a Seagate 1TB SATA and a 450W PS with mid tower case.

    that's quite a bargain there, if you ask me!

    So far so good. As mentioned above i had some issues with RB, but those seem to be slowly working out.

    You should be able to build a very fast computer, the cheapest price, just remember the latest components will be more expensive approach than their value. If you choose any of the next version of the next component, you may save a ton of money.
