Hello
I am thinking of going in for something on the following lines:
My requirements: a PC that can run almost 24 hours, as silent as possible, and reliable and fast. Gaming: not very important, maybe occassionally only... I guess i need something for the silent option as well. I got this quote from http://www.scan.co.uk/ I heard from a friend that they are usually reliable.
The video card: 128Mb XFX GeForce 6200 PCI-E with TurboCache : I am not sure if this has a vga out... anyone know anything about this pls? Is it enough for some casual gaming?
Looking at some threads, i think i would prefer to go in for AMD Athelon instead of Intel Pentium 4
Any general or other comments please?
Thanks in advance
Venkat
