Jack: I do have a good bit of spare time right now, and money is somewhat of an issue, I want to get the most that I can out of my money.
I do know that I'm not going to be playing a FPS with 60 frames/s. I'm fine with an average system, I just don't want to buy a whole lot of parts, then find out I can't boot the system because I missed a $5 dollar doohicky. So on that front a dell is fine with me, I just hate the idea of having all that AOL crap and other misc. junk already loaded on there. My laptop was a dell, and it ran fine for 3 years, even though I was really abusing the system. I'm just trying to get all the info I can on building a system before I spend a good bit of money.

So if you get a DOA motherboard, even if the company denies it, you can return it under the warranty of merchantibility because the motherboard is supposed to function as a motherboard and not a paperweight  |
Thats always good to know.
