Wow, I thought I was reading a description of myself. I haven't been on in a minute but im not a 24/7 type of player either. You said you was stepping out your box, well im out here to say...hi:smileyvery-happy:

Thanks for the input.

Thanks for the link, ive been there. I am looking for opinions on the systems ive posted.

I have been looking into buying a new desk top and would like some opinions on these two computer configurations. 1. HPE510t series intel core i5 6mb cache 6gb ddr3-1333mhz sdram 1TB 7200rpm SATA 3Gb/s hard drive 1GB DDR3 nvidia geforce 405 premium wireless-n lan card 2. Dell XPS 8300 INTEL CORE I5 6mb cache 6gb ddr3-1333mhz sdram 1TB 7200rpm SATA 3Gb/s hard drive, 16mb cache ATI radeon hd 5450 1gb ddr3 dell wireless 1501 wireless-n pcie card standard usb 2.0 + 10/100/1000 ethernet Are the graphics card good enough for second life? opinions on the processors? any opinions on HP versus dell?

Thanks ive been leaning towards a mac but not familiar with the workings of it. Im use to a pc. but i added it to the list of things to check out when i go to buy. Ive had dell computers only so far. But was thinking of going to best buy to see what they had.

Welcome. It can be overwhelming at first. when i first signed up i was lost and left for a while but now im more comfortable with it. I started at help island. most people there are nice and helpful. If you see me inworld and i can help just ask.

@rolig thanks so much for all your advice. will definately take all into consideration when purchasing.

What about wireless in my own home? does that do better. i dont use wifi spots. also what resolution and refresh rates should i be looking for?

what are the resolution and refresh rates i should be looking for?

thanks all for your input. very helpful when i go shopping. @rolig loon im looking for my own for my bedroom. right now i share the desktop with my children and i wanted something to go in my bedroom. Thanks for all your help and input. good info to look into before i purchase.

Im looking to spend less than $1000.

Thanks much for responding. Can you explain why wireless is not good in this circumstance? also i want to get something to hook to my tv and use that as the monitor. What is your opinion on the tv for a monitor?

Im looking to buy a new computer to hook up to my flat screen. My question is what is the best specs to look for? I love games like Sims 3,2 and 1. Also second life. I want to make sure what I get will be able to work for these types of games. Also, which would be better to get, a desktop or a laptop? Thanks much for responding.

What is your opinion on the tv for a monitor? @rolig what are the resolution and refresh rates i should be looking for? While it is certainly possible to get a TV screen that will do the job, most TV screens do not have the resolution or refresh rate that a good monitor designed for computer use will have.

Ive seen ads like the ones you speak of on billboards. You could find one in a high traffic sim.

Thanks for the help. Ive got it now. now off to put my pic up. ~crosses fingers~
