I was looking for a good PC and stunbled over http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1142288946533
It is small but still quite powerfull and has a good processor. Hardwareupgrading should also be no problem as well. You think thats a good choice?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Yeah I know and the biggest problem at the moment is that I have no idea if the motherboard has a 64bit driver otherwise I won't make much sense to have a Athlon64 without being able to use it's power.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Thanks for the answers.
Yeah I wanna run x64 on it but that means i need to find a driver for that. The problem is that P2690 is a model just made for bestbuy so it makes it difficult to find any driver at all since I have no idea which motherboard is in it. On the shuttle website they have a lot of 64bit drivers but only for the models they sell widely and not the bestbuy one:eyebrow: Maby I need to call support but have no idea if they can help me at all (or does it have a SN26P motherboard???).
I wann use it for gaming (but more games like sims2, RCT3, the movies, oblivion and less shoter) and editing on movies and sound but also to watch stuff in higher resolution (my laptop is to slow for that) and downloadable hd stuff.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Not really. I've be to different communitys and x64 suppose to give a solid benefit in speed and stability. It's more or less like XP SP3 and based on windows server 2003 which makes it even better than the 32bit version. That's the main reason for me. I won't run older applications anyway and it gives you a little taste for windows vista. I'm also gona have dual booting for the case it makes problems after all.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Well I tried to calculate other SN26P with similar components but it always ends up with WAY over 1300$ so I think its definitely worth the price just the lack on pci-slots sucks but I won't use dual graphicpower anyway and probably no audio-card as well if the sound is good enough. Just a video-card for things on my digicam.
Like I said the dual-booting should keep me on the save site. Microsoft has a trial version whitch I can try out for over 100 days.

I was speaking idiomatically.
