This is my dream comp :

ASUS A7V266 - Chipset VIA KT266
AMD Palomino 1.2 GHz 133/266 MHz FSB (Socket A)*
Swiftech MC462 Cooler
Crucial DDR RAM 512 MB CL 2 (DIMM)*
Gainward GeForce 3 64 MB DDR RAM (AGP)
Sound Blaster Live! X-Gamer (PCI)
Seagate Cheetah X15 18.4 GB 15000 RPM (SCSI)
Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer (USB)
Microsoft Internet Keyboard (USB)
Any 1.44 MB 3.5" Disk Drive

DVD-ROM?
CD-R/RW?
Monitor?

It'll be used primarily for gaming. Is the current LCD any good to acoomplish this task? Should I stick with the CRT technology? It's because some times ago LCD's on laptops is so BAD! If LCD, give me a good 19 inch monitor...

Thank you!

LCDs are excellent now, but they are relatively expensive. I'd go with a 21" or 22" high-quality CRT monitor instead of an 18" LCD. I suggest the NEC FE1250+.

AMD technology + Intel technology = Intel/AMD Pentathlon IV; the <b>ULTIMATE</b> PC processor

I would only go with lcd if space is an issue and or your looking at lower utility bills as well. if space is not an issue then I agree... go with a good CRT 21 or 22".

Take care.
I guess I was right, at least in my mind!

Take Care.
What the heck was that all about!
