plugwash Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I would avoid the very bottom end model as it has a pretty low spec CPU and graphics by todays standards. The top model is out of your price range, so that leaves the two middle models the 20 inch 2.4GHz and the 24 inch 2.4GHz. So it seems the descision comes down to whether you want the 24 inch screen or would rather spend the $400 price difference upgrading other bits.

Tex1ntux Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Do you already have CS3/CS2? If you don't, I don't see how you can budget this setup unless you can get a student discount. Also, 2x2GB ddr2-667 So-DIMMs for $80: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16820231135 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
