Now this is for all you hardcore gamers out there who want a system that just blazes on any game. Notice that this is a significant leap from the "good enough" system in terms of increased RAM, faster processor speed, and a screaming fast GeForce 2 GTS 64 MB videocard. Also this bad boy has a killer sound system powered by the SB Live! soundcard and the Logitec SoundMan Xtrusio DSR-100 - 4.1 speakers. This is an excellent choice for those who wish to use their computers as full blown multimedia video / stereo systems. TV out features on the GeForce 2 GTS videocards are also a plus for those who wish to watch their DVDs, MPEGs, Real Videos, and Divxs on their big screen TV. Another fine choice of a videocard would also be ATI's Radeon 64 DDR VIVO. Also works great for emulated Neo Geo games which we don't condone, but think that it looks pretty damn cool anyway ;)
