Well I don't think that would be the best for gaming but that is a good system and you could do a lot of things with it. AMD is really good for molty tasking and photo editing. Are you going to upgrade to win 7?

Are you trying to say that AMD is no good for gaming?

What do you feel is the difference between AMD and Intel?

What!? Were did you get insects?
I'm not saying that you can"t use them for gaming but that they are really good for multy tasking. If your going to game on an AMD there are better cpus to use and the 9400gt is probably better for photo editing then gaming. That's my opinion of coarse and you are free to think whatever you want.

What would you use to game on that would be 'better'?

It must be nice to have an unlimited budget.

As for gaming with the video card, that would depend on the game wouldn't it?

Yes, I do some little graphic designing and editing. Oh, and I can play games too! Do you play Left 4 Dead? The one with lot of zombies that are running and will hunt you down. 'Cause it scares me.

Not in my mind yet.


I'm not AMD fanatic but can you provide some fact that AMD is not good for gaming?

Molt? Multy? or Multi?

AMD and Intel CPUs are too similar to even say one is better then the other for anything; it used to be the case, for example between the Pentium and the K5 (the K5 was super cheap in comparison, and had faster integer math, but the floating point sucked big time).

are you aware that some insect species molt?

100%!

There were games when we all used Linear Frame buffer video cards with 4MB of RAM. just because the technology has changed doesn't mean it's not called "gaming" to play, say, "scorched earth".

I am obviously spelling it wrong. Molty tasking = multiple tasks at the same time. Yes I do play L4D. My name is Boo. Look my up. I'm shour that you can game just fine with thous parts, all I am saying is that small upgrades would make you system much better for gaming. And I do notice a difference betwean AMD and Intel.
like I have been saying I believe AMD is better for multy tasking and Intell can run a few programs really fast. That's my opinion.

That depends on the games, and as far as the difference between AMD and Intel you are uneducated.

Then your observations are flawed.
