man that's really good for what you get. if i had the money i'd buy that bastard in a heartbeat. but that athlon isn't the top of the line brand new, it's just the 3200 they have already with 64bit processor in it, still really good, but not the biggest and baddest. but, if you have the money and need a new pc and don't want to build it, this is the way to go right here!

hardly something to be considered best. thats why its one of the best, that is, one of the best includes number 100 in ranking, its marketing, not to metnion, crap

I noticed that too
A high end card would raise the price about 400 or so, so its njot saying much that it's cheap. No monitor either and a 300W power supply. You'll need to upgrade a bit, and spend some money.

Isn't it a waste to buy 64 bit architecture at this point in time?

Plus why put pc2700 DDR in with a 3200 that runs at a 400mhz FSB?

That's just silly when pc3200 is not that much more.

Still haven't seen anything from Tiger that moves me. Instead try this

XP 2500 $90
Asus A8nx deluxe $120
1gb pc3200 $200
Any given Case with good cooling and power $85
A real CPU Cooler $25
9800 or an FX5900 and 128mb (preferance) $250 ($500 for the beastly ones)
DVD/CDW combo $60
54X CD $25
2 80gb SATA Drives at 7200rpm $180

Then get and upgrade student edition of XP pro for 100

That's $1130 (off the top of my head)

Now make sure you're runnign at around 35C under load, (if you bought the right cooler this isn't a problem) the change the FSB multiplier on the 2500 to 200 making it a 2.2 gb (same as the 3200 just 350 bucks less) Sure it'll only be 32 bit... but if you see ithe difence in the next 3 years I'll be shocked (and you should always upgrade about every 3 years anyway)

In Conclusion... NEVER BUY FROM TIGER

And don't be afraid to build it yourslef but the list above, and a Monkey could put it together!

I would hate to build a PC myself. Knowing me, i'd probably sneeze on and fry the motherboard fresh out of the box :lol:
