[QUOTE="derelictjay, post: 1751152, member: 19336"] I would agree, just go to your local computer store and pick one up one (or order online) you should be able to get a machine $500-700 USD no prob. HPs (which are also Compaqs) are decent machines and for the casual user, which you are (me being a hardcore computer geek and all with a BS in Computer Science), these machines are very good reliable machines that you can find in the price range listed above. Don't worry to much whats in 'em, hard drive space, RAM, and processor from what you say you do with a computer are all going to be more than you need. And whats wrong with Windows XP, its is the best Windows OS yet (of course Linux is better), but your probably gonna get XP home addition. You said you use dial-up internet (through the phone line), if so make sure whether the computer has a phone modem or not (if it does good, if it doesn't your going to have to install/get someone to install it). This is getting kinda long, so I'll wrap up. P.S. Any new computer you buy should be able to play most of the games out there. [/QUOTE]
