upgrade? computer
the new mac book (starting at 1149?) and mac book pro (starting at 2099) came out today, and i dont know why, i always wanted a mac, and it’s probably mainly for the look, and i just had a crazy idea, which jason probably would beat me for it
i’ve been wanting to upgrade my comp forever, and i usually build a medium gaming machine, which can cost from $400 – $7934 dollars – i’d need a new cpu (intel e6750 $200?) / vid card (8800GT $250?) / ram (4 gig $100 – 200?), which requires new mobo ($150 – 250?), and probably new psu ($75 – 150?), so… pretty much new everything (approx total ~$950 + tax)
or i buy a 13″ mac book white (cause it’s all about tiny laptops) 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 gig memory, 160 gig HD, double layer super drive, $1249 (student discount) + free nano
it doesn’t matter, i dont ever play games on pc anymore, i have ps3 + wii, and 24″ lcd, im a genius
of course, when starcraft 2 or spore, and maybe diablo 13 comes out then there might be an issue
Haha.. I just built a computer here’s what I got.. and the pwnage pricing – cuz of boxing day
e6750 = $175
8600GT :( = $109
4GB OCZ Platinum PC2-6400 = $50!!!
Asus P5K mobo = $120
just got a Sonata 3 case for $100
I got my macbook because of Quicksilver! Mine’s so slow ass.. its like.. 1.86GHz or something.. but I got 2GB of RAM in it now! I have 2- 22″ LCDs that do nothing lol. I havent’ even played a game on my PC
outstanding post! great advice, will take on board!
