Not really a problem but more a question:
I'm about to buy a new computer, but I have no idea were I need to take a look at when I buy 1.
For example is your RAM important?
So what is all important for a good and fast computer?
I'm looking for a computer on the internet, but what is the best dutch site to look at? I was tinking Mediamarkt is cheap and good?
pfft, it just depends on what you're going to do with it. Are you going to play games much, graphic design, ... or just 'work' or 'school'.
Strict minimums:
Ram: 1 gig
CPU: 3 Ghz
HD: 100 gig
VideoMemory: 128 mb
USBports: 4
Firewire: 1
DVDwriter (dual layer)
Soundcart: 5.1
Lanport
... that are the thing I can think of at this moment:p
And I only need the desktop, the monitor I have myself, and I prefer a desktop of maximum 550€
Edit: So if any of you gus find me a verry good pc thats under 550€ and really good and you got that 1 from a dutch (Belgian!) site I give you 1 rep
For example Mediamarkt, Carrefour..
Looks nice to me, altough, with that videomemory, I'd put 2 gig ram in the PC:p
But yeah, if your budget is 550, and you can buy this with it, it's a very good PC:D
Now the price, are you picking it up or let them send you. Both are good, have bad experience with mediamarkt, so to get revenge on them, I say go for the sysar. Basically both have almost the same qualities.
Yea ok , I'm going for that Sysar 1 for 499€.
But I'm going to buy 2GB PC667 RAM with it so price is 540 Euro. I think that's pretty reliable
Thx for helping everybody
Lol idd , ty for the unlocking Compu ^^
So, I went for that sysar's one, but the guy in the shop said this isn't a game computer at all (you can't really not play games like css f.e.)
Now someone told me that VandenBorre would be a good place to buy a computer because they have good computers and they are cheap. But someone else told me I better go to Van Havere (Cyberdrome Place).
Which shop would you recommend me?
Ok lol my maximum budjet was 500€, but because you haven't had much choice with that budjet my maximum budjet is now 700€!
I have 2 Pc's from Van Haveren which I want to ask you if there are good.

i think the first one of vandenborre is the best (of all suggested)
but i think its weird cuz its also better than the other acer and still costs the same
