Do you think these PC Specs are fast? How much is it worth? - GoFuckYourself.com

Hey, just wondering what you guys think this type of computer would be worth with the following specs... also, by the specs, you think its fast?

Intel Pentium 4 3.06 Ghz, 533FSB with HT Technology
Corsair Extreme Memory Speed 1GB DDR PC-3200
Western Digital Raptor 36.7GB 10,000RPM SATA Hard Drive
Western Digital 200GB 7200 RPM Hard Drive
ASUS SiS 655FX Motherboard W/onboard 6 channel audio
ATi Radeon 9800XT 256mb RAM
48x CD-RW

My brother is thinking about buying that system from a pc store here where we live... they retail it for $2800. is that a good price and is it a good deal? I told him to build his own PC for half that cost but he is a stubborn mo-fo.

Way too fast.....a lot more than you need....the 1gb of ram is good, but you'd do find with a 2ghz cpu

Depends on what you're using it for, if it's just for surfing, email etc. You can even get by with a 1ghz system.

Paying for top of the line technology just means you end up paying more for obsolesence
