Right now, I have a Dimension 4100, 733Mhz, running Windows 98. I've been
getting too many blue screens when I try to multi-task - time to upgrade!!
My computer is used for the typical web surfing/e-mail as well as some
gaming, word processing and photo editing.
I'm looking at the Dimension 8400 with Windows Media Center (w/TV tuner),
1GB RAM, 250GB Hard Drive. I'm undecided on the video card and the monitor.
I'd like opinions on whether the ATI X300 128MB is sufficient for viewing TV
through Media Center or is it better to upgrade to the GeForce 6800 256MB
card? Also, the 8400 currently has the free flat panel offer, either the
19" analog or 17" ultrasharp digital. Opinions on the monitor?? (At this
point, I'm leaning towards the 17" ultrasharp.) Thanks in advance for any
opinions provided.
