 | Re: Help! Need a computer $800 MAX here is a intel/nvidia build that will handle bioshock and do you need a os? Newegg.com Shopping Cart vid card comes with cod4 and about 65$ in mail in rebaits. and i am not very good with budget rigs i'm sure someone could throw a amd rig together that would be cheaper consume less power and preform about the same. shopping cart empty will post specs on seprate thread

| Re: Help! Need a computer $800 MAX well i think my build is wonderful all totals 793$ that should also max out bio shock on pretty much a 20in monitor or smaller taxes depend on where you live yes a 2.2 ghz dual core is good it has pretty much the same aritecture as the core 2 duo. look at the pentum d in my sig, yhea it's got a high clock speed but the 2.2 ghz pentium dual core is pretty much a little better than my processor i've herd xp64bit is ok but you'd be better off with home premium 64bit building computers it very easy. if it dosent fit dont force it it probly dont go there. kindve like putting to gether a puzzle
