What is your current budget?
$600-$800
What part are you looking for? Why do you need it?:
My current computer is crap in every way, extremely old (7 years?) and I can't even browse the internet without risking freeze, so I'll need a brand new one. I'd prefer this computer to have Windows 7, and if possible, being able to dual boot with XP. The XP part isn't completely necessary, but convenient.
What parts are in your current computer? Be as specific as possible. Links to Newegg/Tigerdirect are best. If you have a pre-built, include the make and model.
I currently use Dell, but again, I need a new computer, not new parts.
How do you intend to use this new part or new computer? What's the heaviest load it's likely to encounter?
Regular use of internet and instant messaging programs, most likely just AIM and MSN. The heaviest load it's likely to take is playing Maple Story, so I'd like a computer that will generally result in being able to handle major bosses to a reasonable degree.
If you live anywhere other than the United States, please indicate your country.
I live in the US.
Side note: I'm a major computer noob, so apologies if I didn't answer a question in the correct fashion. Thanks. :]
