Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....

I wouldn't get AMD. Pentium core duo is really good. Ram's good...NVidia card is good too. Besides the processor, I think you got it good.

Ya pentium core duo would be your best shot and Nvidia's graphic card is amazing. I reccomend not even considering to go with amd or celeron just go with Pentium core duo and you will be very well satisfied

Well i guess if your on a budget you should get that PC,
Don't Forget to include $200 for windows Xp or Vista =[
The Nvidia 7100GS is pretty bad even like Fx5500 Wins
Try Getting An Nvidia 7300GT
If your going with the lower versions of processors choose AMD because AMD smokes all intel lower versions than Core Dual 2
