Sorry for double posting again, but I've found a computer that, should nothing better come, buy tommorrow:
AMD AM2 Dual Core 3800+ Proccessor
1gig of DDR2 ram
250gig SATA hard drive (I think 7500rpm)
256meg 7600GT video card.
and a 17inch ,8ms monitor.
the system costs roughly $1550.
please tell me I'm not being ripped off.
EDIT: Thats it no, more bets; I just paid for half of the computer today, and with any luck it should be ready tommorrow! I've already brought Oblivion and Farcry. now all I have to do is convince my mum to let me buy some surround sound speakers.
EDIT EDIT: The reason I haven't been on for the past week is because I've been playing Oblivion! my new computer in really great and everthing runs fine (oblivion slows down somewhat when there is heaps of grass, but thankfully this is rare) and it hasn't crashed yet. I brought medival 2 today.
