Hardware - July 2007

I'm looking for a gaming computer only for WoW. I am on a really low budget though (around $300). I would like to do raids. I have considered building one myself but i don't know how much that would cost and how to build it actually.

P.S. Please leave details

I play this game called second life and up until the other day it was working fine. Suddenly it stopped working, i emailed the company nd they said that my video driver doesnt support it. When i tried downloading the software they recommend, it gets to the install wizard thing and says that the software i currently have on my laptop is not the right configuration then closes on me. Am i going to have to buy a new video card?? Do they cost alot?? Right now im running an Intel video processor and need to change it to either nVidia GeForce 2, GeForce 4mx, or better or ATI Radeon 8500, 9250, or better.
Any help would be great.

I wanted to buy a monitor for my desktop PC that I can also hook up my PS3 to. I've seen those LG displays at the PS3 kiosks at a number of stores, I like them alot, but I'm not sure of those can also be used as a PC monitor.

I guess what I'm looking for is a display that can be a PC monitor but also has HDMI inputs so that I can plug in my PS3.

Any of you guys know what kind of display I would need? I'm really confused with this one and I was hoping someone had an answer for me.

Thanks in advanced!

Here's what my motherboard manual says:

"This motherboard provides two 184-pin DUAL INLINE MEMORY MODULES (DIMM) sockets for memory expansion from a minimum memory size of 64MB to maximum memory size of 2.0GB DDR SDRAM."

It says 266/333/400.

So, is the absolute best RAM I can get that is compatible with my computer, 2GB DDR 400 MHz?

something like:
