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 ;)
