New PC Build

[snathanb]

Well, my wife let me pull the trigger finally on a new PC build.

I'm no longer interested in gaming on the PC (I have the Wii and PS3 for that), so this new rig is strictly for web surfing, light gaming, light productivity.

I had an Athlon64 2800+ with 2.5GB of DDR-400 and a GeForce 6600 AGP card.

One would think a PC with the above specs would be just fine for web surfing, light gaming, and light productivity.

ho! - - He's got'cha there!
I've done a lot of gaming , surfing, video editing, and DVD making on a lesser system.
AMD Barton at less than 2ghz actual, nVidia 5900oc, and some SATA drives.

As for the 8400gs video card, I suspect it's ahead of the old AGP, but that is most certainly the weak link in your new e4500 system.
