I looked that up Tony and only found the ones with the Intel processors in it. Couldn't find the AMD one, but regardless you got a great price on it.
All the ones I saw were much more than what you paid for that one.
Can't wait for you to post the info on it.

Looks like you got a great deal for that price. Nice find. And Windows 7 is actually a nice OS. I like XP better, but that's probably because I used it so long.
Good stuff Tony.

Well you've got an AMD triple core processor, 4 GB of RAM, plus the Radeon HD graphics card with 2 GB of Ram on it's own.
Probably handle most newer games you threw at it on hi settings.
For $450, I'd call that a very good deal. You could always just type what it is in Google and search reviews for it, but I'd bet most are pretty good.

Yea they are and the few things they say they dislike I agree with like mouse pad is goofy as hell where you have to push down and here it click and also no back light keyboard but I type in a well lite room and use a wireless mouse and the silver color does reflect a soft pink for some reason but as far as performance I haven't hit anything that upsets me... Yet

Don't know how much PC gaming you do, but for me that's always the ultimate test on a new machine. I also try to do as many intensive things at one time on it, just to see how it handles them.
I think you got a great deal there, but those are two ways to gauge what you have.

Hmm. That's surprising given your processor speed and the video card you have. I haven't played Battlefield 3, but I know it's a very graphic intensive game. That may be a game you'll need a core i5/i7 processor to play. EDIT: I have a dual core Intel processor and that passed for Battlefield 3 on Can You Run It?, but my video card failed. I have a Nvidia 9500 GT, which I think is close spec wise to the Radeon card you have in yours. So your processor can probably run it, but your card may be the issue. Try to test your system here: www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/Select Battlefield 3 from the drop down menu, let it run and see what the results are. |
