erk....
i get a new computer every 6 months and max everything on it. im running a Intel P4 3.4ghz with 6gig of PC3200 ram with a 3DLabs VP990Pro video card, dual LCD monitors, Creative Labs Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS Platium Pro, 1.6Tb total drive space. which kinda explains why i think 750mhz and 256meg or ram is low end.
for me, if its more than 2 years old its an antique. if 5 months ill be dumping this thing off and building something new.
i can probally dig up something from tigerdirect or newegg like was mentioned before.
