would this be good for gaming?; plz take a min and go through it:
Processor Type AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core 4600+
Processor Speed 2.2GHz
RAM 2GB PC2-4200 DDR2 SDRAM (Exp. To 4GB)
Hard Drive 250GB Serial ATA (7200RPM)

and maybe i can put a ATI X1650Pro PCI-Express 512MB Video Card, if that graphics card isnt good enough....
And, should i bother thinking of upgrading to Vista, this computer will have Windows Media center 2005 edition already installed.....

Hey, if you're going to spend that kind of money on a computer, go for the better graphics card as well. Vista basically requires a graphics card, which means that vista-based games will definitely need good graphics cards.
Speaking of Vista, I'd definitely get it. I've heard it's worth purchasing.
All in all, a very fine gaming PC. Be sure to show it off.

Not bad.. however I would get a mainboard with no integrated graphic and install a separate card to avoid incompatibilities and problems in the future unless you want to utilise dual displays. The rest seems promising. Upgrading to Vista is something worth doing but not to early due to limited number of game titles. Another thing you must get is a big widescreen LCD, niceee...

For Good gaming, go ahead and get a pci-express card. Everything else is great. I wouldnt bother upgrading to Vista for several reasons. Its pretty expensive. Full 64-bit support from other vendors is a long way off, and you wont get any gaming benefit from Vista as compared to MCE.

My word that is a mighty setup you got there! I have a stock graphics card that came with my computer 250gig 1gig o' RAM and I can play Battlefield 2 quite nicely on it so I assume yours is a very god gaming PC. Now if you have 10,000 bucks to spend get a VOODOO computer.

Not with the onboard video. If you stick the X1650P in there, then you'll have an okay gaming machine. Nothing very fast though.

sounds good, that would be very good as a gaming computer, good idea to get a network setup at home, play networking games with mates and go with the 21 inch widescreen
