Meh Linux Mandriva is compatable with ALOT of windoze games... Also fer linux gaming theres WINE and VMWare. So your more then likely to run ALOT of windoze games on a linux box

They have some already set up too. Which of these is better? number 1, number 2, or number 3. Edit: I know I should still probablly build it myself, but I don't know how. If there is a good manual and if it would be considerably cheaper then I would try. |

You just have to make sure all of the parts are compatible. Otherwise you'll end up with a PSU that doesn't support your video card, a motherboard that doesn't support your RAM or CPU... So it is important to watch out for those little caveats. Otherwise, it's just like playing connect-the-dots. |

Also with Newegg you have to watch in the amout of time you want an item because if you don't order it the day you see it and go back a week later to order it, it's more then likely nawt there no more. I've had that problem alot wiht newegg. |

I wouldn't buy any of these computers. None of them have a good graphics card and the second one has an older CPU. |

I had windows 95 up till two years ago. Then I upgraded to ME. I'd go on but I think we all know where this story is headed. Now I have the wonderful Mac OSX. |

Windows 95 > Windows ME |

Agreed. Especially with a pentium 2. |

I still have Windows 95 sitting on a Pentium 2. It's practically useless so it sits collecting dust. |

I'd go on but I think we all know where this story is headed. Now I have the wonderful Mac OSX. My story is similar! Actually the first "modern" PC I owned was a Compaq (*sigh*) with Windows 98. Some 3 or 4 years later, I had already replaced the entire system at least twice, but still on 98. Of course I was sick of it, so I upgraded to Windows 2000. 2K was a pain in the ass, wouldn't work with my NIC, so I upgraded to XP against my will after having 2K for less than 1 hour. I have since clean-installed XP once, and reinstalled it twice or more. I am not impressed with the Vista betas, so I think my Windows run has, at long last, come to an end. I bought a 12" Mac PowerBook G4 in March, and love the hell out of it. Windows is still viable as a gaming machine, but even then, I do not play games often. I typically use OS X for everything, even if it was a bit of a bumpy switch, trying to find the right IRC (jIRCii - http://jirc.hick.org/ - FTMFW) and AIM/MSN/ICQ/YIM/etc. (http://www.adiumx.com/) clients. And even though OS X's default browser (Safari) is infinitely better than Internet Explorer, I am still a FireFox fanboy. (Take away my AdBlock and GreaseMonkey, and I will gut you like the fish you are!) But yes, OS X is truly remarkable. "Wonderful" describes it well. |

Windows for gaming, Macs for everything else. Still waiting for that Mac commercial where they showcase gaming on their platform vs. Windblows. |
