Application - New PC

Application Form

Why ?

1.Cause I i'm unable to install the newer games.
2.Neverwinter Nights 2 is coming out.
3.Supreme Commander is coming out.
4.Running out of Hard Disk space (hmm wonder why) pr0n!

What ?

1. Customized PC - RM 4304 (Rough estimation)

ATHLON AM2 X2 3800+ 2.0GHz
KINGSTON PC 5300 DDR2 1Gig
SEAGATE 16M 250GB
HIS ATI RADEON 1300 PRO 256MB DDR2 HP
DVDRW AOPEN/LITE-ON
CREATIVE SB LIVE ! AUDIGY 4
ALTEC LANSING V4121 / 3 PIECE
19" LG 1952S
LOGITECH EASY DELUXE BLACK KEYBOARD
RAZER KRAIT GAMER MOUSE ( 1600DPI )
ASUS M2N4-SLI
ANTEC 430W TRUEPOWER / II
THERMALTAKE SOPRANO VB1000SWS SWING
D-LINK 10 / 100 T-BASE / PCI

OR

2. Dell Dimension 9200 - RM 4199 (inclusive of RM400 Rebate + Printer)

When ?

Soon, like right after NWN2 come out or maybe right before.

Where ?

Behind some dodgy dark alley somewhere.

How ?

Money well earned.

Why not ?

Well with the recent (or not so recent) acquisition of ATI Technologies Inc. by AMD, AMD has plans to create a new class of x86 processor that integrates both the CPU and GPU together.
The offset is that the first Fussion processors would only be out late of 2008/early 2009.

SO thats gonna be another 2-3 years of waiting.

BUT then I pondered on it some more and thought,

"Heck it, i'll just upgrade it later if and when it comes out la".

Simple : )
Don't know why this was a problem in the first place.

Of course I still haven't decided on whether I should get the Dell or a customised PC
or if i'm getting one at all.

*Adjusted and corrected some specs and quotations.
