got a question? need some answer.

Buying a new computer

Hey all, new here and am looking at buying a brand new computer . I found one that im pretty interested in. it has a Sony-VAIO-3.4GHz Pentium 4. heres the link for more details:

I'll be using it for schooling but also for gaming (not hardcore to the max) and maybe some photoshop. What i wanna know is wether or not this system will be good enough for what im doing? thanks in advance for any help !

I would agree. WHile an AMD processor would suit you better. The P4 will be fine.

Re: got a question? need some answer.

As long as you know that you could have a way better system for the same or less amount of money, do whatever you feel right...

i guess you could do something like:
http://www.unitedmicro.com/sysw.cgi?37214131

oh and notice a gig of 400 mhz ram altlon 64 3800 and 120 gig sata drive as well as a dvdrom/cdwriter and a dual layer dvd writer, oh and a 3 year warranty, as well as XP Pro (media eddition is available too) and a 128Meg 6600 PCI EX graphics card...

but then what do i know....all i am saying is shop around before settling, 400 bucks more and you could have a brand new 15.4 inch PowerBook G4...
