Assembly of new components purchased from open market as retail products. This machine can be used as Gaming computer as well as engineering workstation. This is from our series 980 family of computers.   This is a true 64-bit machine (motherboard, CPU, and Operating Systems are all 64-bit).  As we all are aware that 64-bit driver for wireless internet is not readily available to download from the wireless OEM site, thus we are providing a brand new USB wireless adapter with 64-bit driver with this machine as fully plug-n-play right out of the box. Thus, this machine will come to you as a plug-n-play, fully functional, license activated, and all the Microsoft updates downloaded.  AND YES, ALSO FULL 4GB RAM VISIBLE AND USABLE.   Most of the printers are now-a-days plug-n-play with 64-bit machines, especially, USB printers. ATI and Nvidia both provide 64-bit drivers for their full line of graphics cards, in case you would like to add a card later time.   FYI: What is XP Pro x64? And, what is the advantage of 64-bit over 32-bit XP Pro? XP Pro x64 (64-bit) is the next generation of XP Pro (32-bit). The most obvious example would be 32-lanes highway vs. 64-lanes highway. You will be able of transport twice as many traffic volume at any given time. Let say, if your traffic volume is constant, then you have more spaces on the lanes to be filled including many unused lanes available, thus your traffic will move much higher speed. When current highway speed limit is 70MPH, but you would be able to drive 140MPH without running into someone due to 64-lanes highway. Thus, you will get to the destination at half the time.   WE ARE ALSO OFFERING THIS MODEL WITH WINDOWS VISTA PREMIUM x32 and x64 AT NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE.   CUSTOM BUILT MACHINE.

Thank you for looking.   DETAILS FOR YOUR DUE DILIGENCE. 1) CASE: This is probably the best quality, shiny, factory fresh, new, HP made micro-ATX case with light blue and carbon black tint. It is pretigious looking, thus young and adult gamers alike may find this box very attractive. This machine is specifically designed for the gamers whose primary objective is for an ultimate dream machine whose performance would be uncompromising, non-stop, relentless, and leave other machines in the dust in competition.   2) MEMORY: It is also using over-clockable 4GB of CORSAIR XMS2 DDR2 Dual Channel PC-6400 (800 MHz) brand RAM  with low latency 5-5-5-18  for high-speed gaming. Those who are gamers, you do not need an explanation from me about these RAM. These RAMs are over-clocker's delight. You can adjust timings in the Bios for over-clocking. RAM alone cannot do the job if Motherboard, Graphics card, and CPU are not over-clockable simultaneously. Over-clocking (exceeding mfg limit) may void the Lifetime warranty on this RAM. Builders cannot overclock the machine (its a violation of OEM policy) thus this machine has not been tested for overclocking. http://www.corsairmemory.com/products/xms2.aspx   3) CPU: This is a Quad-Core CPU 2.66GHz per Core with s-spec SLACQ, made by Intel. Leaders of the pack seeking monster performance, look no further. With four execution cores, the Intel® Core™2 Quad processor blows through processor-intensive tasks in demanding multitasking environments and makes the most of highly threaded applications. Whether you're creating multimedia, annihilating your gaming enemies, or running compute-intensive applications at one time, new quad-core processing will change the way you do everything. Pioneer the new world of quad-core and unleash the power of multithreading. This computer has been tested with full load (without overclocking) for 24 hours with continuous run, no overheating or anomalies observed. http://www.intel.com/products/processor/core2quad/index.htm http://processorfinder.intel.com/details.aspx?sSpec=SLACQ 4) HARD DRIVE: Western Digital/Seagate/ Maxtor/ Hitachi/ Samsung/ 1000GB/ 7200RPM/ 32MB Cache. 5) GRAPHICS CARD: XFX 8800 Ultra 768MB DDR3 PCI-E SLI DUAL DVI HDTV (Lifetime warranty) The only word to describe this card is “killer.” This 768MB (384 bit) brute delivers unsurpassed realism through faster core and memory clock speeds and, its Dual DVI enables it to drive those large, high resolution flat-panel displays. Dual Dual-Link Technology supports digital output up to 2560 X 1600 on two LCD monitors. This card also is HDTV-, HD. Brace yourselves..Your graphics capacity is in for a shock!
