Best Answer: Its and ok system, but you;re lacking in ram and the cpu. P4's are pretty updated now, especially the non HT ones. look into a better cpu such as a core 2. If you have the $$$, i would reccomend getting a core 2 quad Q6600. Its considered the best bang for the buck proc out there right now. As well, 1.5gb of ram is small too. Even budget systems now come with as much as 2gb of ram. Consider upgrading to a minimum of 2gb, 4/8gb at best. On the good side, however, ram is incredibly cheap right now. My 4 gigs of ddr2 800 mushkin ram cost me $40 at a local electronics store. I'll bet they're even cheaper online. - random_guy7531
first off ram cpu ^ as said but also having a 9600 isnt that nice i prefere the 8800 gt much simpler in my opinions runs smoother and if you didnt want to hear this stuff dont put it on here lol not bein rude just saying everyone has nicer toys than someone else personally i dont yet im running on vista basic pentuim d 3.4ghz, 1.5 gb ram and a intergrated ati 1100 gc, and crappy motherboard - x9mmxcasualty
The Intel 915G chipset motherboard is rather outdated please go for the more latest G31 or P35 chipset you cant get any good performance from a high end GeForce 9600 GT 512MB graphics card on this M/B DDR2 533 RAM is also too low in speed . also please consider the Intel Core 2 Duo processor instead of Pentium 4 for this graphics card - Ricky N.
