Sanity check on configuration

External Since: Jan 05, 2006 Posts: 2

Would someone please offer me some feedback on what I've got planned here ?
At least the graphics part - if you can offer another thoughts overall,
they'd certainly be welcome too. I'm not a real strong hardware guy and
would like to be sure what I'm buying (and have already bought) is going to
work.

I just purchased a bare Dell Dimension 4700 system off Ebay. Went to
CompUSA and got a SATA 200GB drive, 1GB memory, an ATI X1300 PCIExpress, ATI
TV Wonder Pro (I would have bought the All In Wonder but they didn't have
the PCIExpress version) and tomorrow I'm planning to order from Dell, the
2405FPW 24"UltraSharp Wide Aspect display.

Sound like a fair setup ?

Thanks a lot

jim

The X1300 is a weak video card, but it depends on what you plan to use it
for.
