sounds very nice!

im hoping to get a new computer by Xmas or before...

with an Quad core Q6600 2.4GHz

and 3 or 4 GB RAM

im like you, need a good performance computer.

the desktop i got has very little RAM

and a slow Processor..

i think you should go for it.

like i said sounds very nice and vista should run smooth with 4GB RAM

vista will only see 3.5GB (just so you know) lol

my mum got a new laptop (if you look at my specs).

it runs abit slow sometimes but it does most stuff i do with computers

i do a weekly clean on all the computers in my house to keep them in tip top performance..

but anyways i think you should go for it

i would get it
