No I also use business apps and a simulation flight game every now and then.

No I don't have the time to make sure I know how to set all the jumper settings
and bios settings to optimize the system.

I buy from people like Dell or Gateway most of the time but I would look at my
local vendor if I thought they knew what they were doing.  When I ask them about
putting a machine together with mother boards that I read about they don't sound
like they have ever heard of them so I tend not to think they know how to setup
the systems to work fast.

How much money do you want to put on the

What OS do you want to use?
