No. But then I don't know of any computer that will run everything
perfectly.

(But yours sounds more than competent to run any curent app or game,
assuming it's configured properly. ;)

You might have trouble running the latest Solaris with a full enterprise
installation of Oracle but otherwise, it should bhe ok for running most
desktop apps and games

You didn't mention what motherboard. Avoid those VIA chipsets. I always buy
Asus because they are the best

Just to be clear: ASUS makes boards with VIA chipsets. For Intel procs I
always go ASUS mobo w/ Intel chipset. For AMD procs I have had great results
with ASUS mobo nForce2 chipset.

Yes that, and atleast 300 quantrillion byte Qb harddrive, and a heatsink
made in pure gold and on-board cryogenics to reduce cpu heat.. Don't
forget the nuclear selv-contained UPS power supply. Just in case skynet
nukes start falling from sky and there is no electricity.




For real, it's a nice system. SHOULD run almost all games\apps nicely in
1280*1024 or above with no problem..

hard-drives etc. . .:P

Only as long as you only run up to DOS 6.22 on it. Maybe even only DOS
3. As soon as you install Window$, it's gonna crash...



Actually looks like a very nice PC, depending on the MB, etc...

I have what you want, only I am using an AMD processor, the Athlon 2800 + XP
(Barton core). It will cost you less and will run everything faster, with
the exception of mpeg video encoding. So, if you are not going to use this
machine for video encoding, take the money you were going to spend on the
Pentium chip, and spend it on an AMD 64 bit processor and good ASUS
motherboard.
