My dad prolly wont get a new computer for maybe a whole year, but If I was to buy this today, would you say that is a good deal?

seems a bit steep to me..

but then again i got mine at an insane deal. so i guess my inturpratation of money is tad slanted. cuz id pay like half that or something.

But then again most that i wouldnt use. dont like AMD, hate the MS mouse. wouldnt want a DVD drive, hate word perfect.. etc.

It all really depends on what YOU want. if you can afford it and think its a good price go for it.

Jason1 · 08-29-2002, 06:01 PM

Actually, I have no need for a DVD drive also. And I cant buy this, and my dad isnt going to right now either. I just did it for the hell of it, like I said, my dad made it not me. I just wanted to see what you guys think.

*waits for AMD haters to bash*

Mmmm, AMD athlon XP is an awsome chip!
