i'd get the 4400+ if i were you, significant increase in performance.

[LC Interactive]

I was on a budget and everything was ordered.

[Fragalot]

well, it's only a small price increase, but it's worth it...

too bad.

you ARE going to put linux on it, i hope ^_^

[LC Interactive]

lol, no.. i have my Hard Drive set, im just going to unplug it from this DELL (paper weight) and place it in the new computer (do i have to reformat of un-install drives?).. If i had a larger hd, i'd prob put Linux on it (or 2)

the HD i have is 80gb, i owe my dad about $140 for the computer parts, and i still have to pay my cell bill ($60/month) and web hosting ($7/month).
So my bills are stacked, since im jobless and only 17.

Got my case, but the parts are coming tommarow.

Dude, thats like a really big jump from the commadore 64...wow man , good ya

[Fragalot]

well, no you don't need to format your drive, all you would need to do is install the drivers you need for the new hardware.

(you should do this on the NEW box, and not before you insert it.

[LC Interactive]

So put everything into the new case, and than install the drives and everything?

and ya, its going to be a big jump from my Dell Celeron with no AGP graphics

[Fragalot]

just put everything in the case, and then install the driverS for the new hardware.
