Looks like a great computer mabrouk man!

I don't know about the prices in Lebanon, but compared to France where I live, you had a decent price.

Enjoy!

The price looks awesome, but you should've bought i7 since it's better.

You don't always need to buy the latest hardware. Unless you have specific needs for an i7 (hardcore gaming, HD multimedia box, ... ) you'd be better off with a core duo.

An i7 would have costed at least 300$ more.

Or you could've just gotten a 50Mhz 50Kb memory 1mb hd and used linux! LIKE SERIOUSLY!

Or you could spend hundreds of dollars every 6 months because Intel/Nvidia/Microsoft/whoever released a new product. And God knows that i7 will be completely outdated in 2 years.

I've said it before, my PIV runs like a charm. I should buy a new one simply because it's old ?

Excuse me for advocating that computers could (and should) be cheap.

Before I say something sarcastic... what does it mean, "original"?

No it doesn't. I've noticed that you usually complain about your pc lagging whenever you browse a page which contains Flash animations (ex: arithma's portfolio site with the butterflies moving around). The same thing happens on my old machine which has a PIV as well. I think it's about time you upgrade your pc if you want to take full advantage of the modern web, which despite your hatred for Flash, it's loaded with full-Flash websites which are resource hogs when they're being run on less capable machines similar to yours. On the other hand, no matter how complex the Flash website is, it runs very smoothly on my machine which has a Core-2-Duo processor.

Back to the topic: the price is pretty good compared to the specs. I too think that you should've gotten an i7 if you could afford spending extra bucks.

very good price, but if I were you I would have gotten a i5 processor with the WP55 motherboard that supports both i5 and i7 processors and later you could upgrade it to an i7 without changing motherboards, but still a very good price :)

When I complain about Flash, I usually test it on my netbook (Atom processor). It's a very modern machine (numbers show that netbooks sales are higher than regular laptops).

My PIV is still in Lebanon (a desktop, I cannot take it with me). I never complain about Flash not running smoothly on it, I know it's a bit outdated. But my own personal preferences don't lead me to buy a new computer simply coz it doesn't play Flash.
