[QUOTE="Non-human Resources, post: 1751038, member: 23409"] But I have no idea what to get. What I have right now I inherited from my dad back in 99. It's a compaq presario 2200, windows 95, 14 megs of ram (yes you read that right). So I know that just about anything will be a step up. What I do with the thing: I surf the internet, check email, download stuff (including video), write papers and play solitare. Dial up internet access. The occasional chatroom. Budget: maybe a thousand dollars. Actually, it's going on my credit card so up to $20,000. :) But I'd prefer to keep it in the thousand dollar range. So does anyone have any advice/thoughts/rants/raves for me. I would like to get something that does what I need to do very well and not pay for things I don't need. Two other things: 1) I hate windows XP so I would like to find a way around that. Previous editions are fine. 2) While I don't play video games, I wouldn't mind getting a D&D themed one. What would work for the restrictions above? Is it even possible? [/QUOTE]
