Recomended Computer

M

may white

I am a latias
Can someone recommend a good computer for me. My dad said that he would buy me a new one and would cover $500 of the cost. I am hoping for a computer that is fast, Good enough to play spore and can do handle alot of tasks at once. I would like a PC.

I Have never tried to find a good computer on my own and would like some help
 
You'll want something along the lines of:
AMD Athlon 64 X2/AMD Phenom II (or higher)/Intel quad (can't remember their models)
An ATI/nVidia graphics card (512MB memory or higher)
Depending on your OS, you'll want at least 1-2 GB RAM

Then the rest (Harddisk, peripherals, sound card, etc.) will be more of a personal choice.
 
Well I've found this on Frys
http://shop2.frys.com/product/58621...+szQZ3E7g**.node3?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG
It's 400$, has 640 GB of Hard Drive (which is more than you need), and it fits the above posters recommendations (correct me if I am wrong)..I suppose it can carry out many processes as I have a similar RAM (6 GB) capacity (Gateway DX series..) and it has ran many programs at once (Firefox, a game consuming a lot of memory, the sidebar, an image manipulation program, and the other processes running in the background)..
Although I don't think its graphics card,which I hear is useless, is a gaming one if you wanted to play Spore or something..

AMD Athlon, if you have a moderate-large budget, is a poor choice. Its performance is good, but unless you physically don't have much money, Intel is better value. Also, Intel just released a new chip, so the current line of CPUs will be discounted.

I would recommend, for gaming+multitasking, that you invest in a dual-core Intel (Intel E8xxx). Forget about quad-core, no applications can really take advantage of it yet and to get the same single application performance (with most software) as a dual-core of the same clock speed you would need to shell out a lot more money.

The trick with computers is to buy stuff which has just been replaced, because it's still pretty damn good but it will be slashed. Luckily with computers this happens very frequently, the best stuff you can buy now will be obsolete in a few months, relegated to mid-range =)
 
for brand Toshiba is a very good brand for gaming Gateway or Dell as another option i had all 3 of them
