Newegg has one processor for 761 so 1522 for the processors?

Ram 169
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820134085

so for now its 1691

250 gig HDD for 83
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822148144

I think you did a typo on the video card is this it?

IF so 83 bucks more

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814127213

Total so far is 1857

And that DVD writer is probably around 50 bucks........SO looks Like I win HAHA! What I get a cookie or sumtin? Un 2500 you said rite? I got under 2000 and free shipping too I believe.

Damn I forgot to add the rest of the specs. My bad, hold on.

Aluminum AtX case
PSU
Logitech wired mouse & wired keyboard
IEEE 802.11a/b/g
Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR
dual socket Core Xenon mainboard based on an Intel-based chipset

Correction
Geforce 7300 GT, 256MB

How many watts PSU? Anyways its still gonna around 2500 I bet.

Case round 50
Mouse and Board round 50 as well since they are wired.
the Wireless and blue tooth let say a 100.
And for the Mobo say we spend 400.

So in end it near that price you said maybe might be cheaper if its all from one dealer such as newegg so free shipping. Anyways I am gonna fire up the old PS2 box while I still can and play GT4 because in a few more months both GT4 and the PS2 will be collection dust.....and for a good reason! :D See this thread. http://www.motorworld.net/forum/show...=690370#690370 :twisted:

1GB 667MHz FB-DIMM

*EDIT*
Why not run Linux?

The application of this desktop requires 4 cores. Conroe can't SMP.

Linux isn't an option.

SMP? Whats that? No Linux? Damn! What bout Vista? Shouldnt you just wait a bit longer for it to come out or no?

Symmetric Multiprocessing, or SMP, is a multiprocessor computer architecture where two or more identical processors are connected to a single shared main memory. Most common multiprocessor systems today use an SMP architecture.

Taken from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetric_multiprocessing

Sorry for updating all the time but I need to add this

mainboard
-must be able to handle 8 FB-DIMM slots
-three full-length PCI Express expansion slots and one double-wide PCI Express graphics slot to support high-powered, double-wide graphics cards

audio card (if built-in to mainboard strike this out)
-optical digital input and output
-analog audio input and output,

Because of today's events I think Vista will be delayed yet again by a few more months. MS will adjust the release to something close to Q4 2007 or even push it to 2008.

Speaking of Vista is it a true to honest God 64-bit OS that can run 32-bit & 64-bit apps side by side without emulation or translation? Will 32-bit drivers work with Vista 64-bit?
