Yeah, its better to build your own computer. It costs alot less, and you get more bang for your buck. If your going for gaming, even though the Alienware costs more than my house would, go for it.

Just cause it's funny to make klinky cry. My brand spanking new P4 2.4Ghz machine with 512MB DDR333 RAM has a GeForce 2 in it.

So long as it's not onboard

I am still using a GF2 in my current rig. I paid $180 for it and damn well will get all I paid for it :p

So said that you can pick the same card up for $40 - $50 now and a Geforce4 w/128MB can be had for $150

Man, someone checks the forums a bit much... I replay and within a minute or so there's a reply. =P

Damn, I knew I should've sprung for the onboard video. This GeForce 2 cost me like $250 2 years ago, and it was a waste on my previous machine, cause it just couldn't handle it. At least now I finally have a machine that can use its full power, and do my taxes at the same time.
