come on man only tryin to help u now

a sound card you would most likely buy after
it improves the quality of sound
i had an onboard sound card for like a year and a half (onboard=built into the motherboard)
then i got a 200$ sound card and wow what a difference
not saying your gonna spend that much
but there are some pretty decent sound cards for like 50$-100$
its kinda like buying an amp for your car
i need to get some new speakers actually and thats another way to upgrade sound

is dell good? i found that on their site

Dimension E510
Award Winning PC
Balanced Performance
Bullet Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor 630 w/HT Technology (3.0GHz,800FSB)
Bullet Genuine Windows® XP Media Center 2005 Edition
Bullet 256MB DDR2 SDRAM at 533MHz (1x256M)


its like 699$ does it sounds ok?

3ghz, pent 4, 256 SDRAM sounds pretty good for $699 thats quality.

keep looking around tho,

dell are by far the best IMO

is it for business or pleasure?

yea a good soundcard can make all the differance have you seen the PC Media Sets? the 8 speaker sets, there amazing the quality of sound is impecable

I usually build mine from scratch but you should be able to find a 1 or 2 or even 3Ghz processor within your price range. 500Mhz is like 4-6 year old technology so if you're looking at one of those it's an older machine that someone is trying to unload. Personally I have a preference for AMD Athlon processors but that's just me. However they do tend to be a little cheaper than Intel based machines. Also if you are looking for intel, stick with Pentium (pricier I know) as opposed to Celeron based machines. And buy as much memory as you can afford. Don't settle for less than 512Mg. And I agree that Dell makes great machines and has great service.

im an amd kid as well and build mine from scratch

intel says its a 3.0ghz but i think it runs slower than that - i dont think intel rates thier chips excatly

and ill agree dont get less than 512mb ram

ill see if i can find a decent system online or something
