What does your company do that you require $5000 workstations?

RE: Need help with buying a new computer

You can easily get a gaming computer for ~600.

Oh and for you Pentium Duo people, they aren't what MS cracks them up to be, as a matter of fact they aren't much faster than Pentium Ds. Besides your processor speed means crap if your bus and memory can't feed it fast enough. 1 Gb of DDR2 800 and a 2.6 Pentium D will be faster than 1Gb of 667 with a Duo of the same speed.

Ok so it's a bit over 600 but if you can use a screwdriver here's a PC that's gaming compatible for ~750.
