i finally ran into the friend i wanted to show my new computer specs to last night at work. and he was impressed. so i checked up on the Dell site to see if any new upgrades were available because i'm feeling time for buying the computer is coming upon myself. here are the specs for this $31/month-for-4-years computer (with the tiny $10 shipping tag):
Dell Dimension 4700
- Pentium® 4 Processor 530 with HT Technology (3.00GHz, 800 FSB)
- Microsoft® Windows® XP Home Edition (i'll upgrade to Professional with a friend's disc)
- 1GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 400MHz (4x256M)
- 160GB Serial ATA Hard Drive (7200RPM)
- Dual Drives: 16x DVD-ROM Drive + 16x DVD+/-RW w/dbl layer write capability
- 17 inch E773c CRT Monitor (the free upgrade to a 15 inch flat screen expired last week)
- Integrated Intel® Graphics Media Accelator 900
- SoundBlaster Live! 5.1(D) Digital Sound Card w/Dolby Digital 5.1 capability
should i shell out $4/month for the Dell 5650 5.1 Surround Sound Speaker System with Subwoofer?
and if i do that, i guess i should also do the $1/month upgrade for the Sound Blaster Audigy™2 ZS (D) Card w/Dolby 5.1, and IEEE 1394 capability, right? just for the hell of it?
btw, i'll be able to hook up my LG cd-burner, right? it can handle that bit of hardware, right?
lemme know what you think because, as i said, i'm feeling this is getting close to being done. thanks :)
