I think he has integrated in that setup, and tv tuner shouldn't rely on the video card, but the monitor.

lol It says it's refurbished, wonder which little boy with dirty fingers touched it and who knows what he did with it Razz. AMD Processors normally do not overclock but you should get it to around +/- 3.0ghrz.

Cheaper doesn't always mean better. When AMD's Phenom (Quad-core) came out it was more expensive than Intel's Q6600 which had higher benchmark scores than the Phenom.

Gaming. Design tools (photoshop, indesign, painter, etc). Music recording. Resource editors and other tools in that category. And normal programming. Oh, and LOTS of music. 3000+ songs. Even without most of this stuff I still filled up about 150 gb of hard drive space on my normal hd. So basically all of it. I recentrly cleaned out about 4,000,000,000 KB of free space from my C drive and 4,000,000 KB from D drive giving me 24% on C and 3% more on D. So I could use the big hard drive for all the stuff I want. By the way, do you guys know a place with free music, cuz I'm not a big fan of limewire, but I Will use it if I have to.

another program you can use is imesh, or you could just use torrents.

Yea, I think I used to use iMesh, I should check it out. If that doesn't work, and isohunt.com (torrents) doesn't work I'll guess I'll have to use limewire Confused . Thanks guys.
