I'm thinking of buying a new computer.

4GB is more than enough for most things.
I used a machine with 8GB and a quad at a Best Buy earlier, I felt a very small performance difference over my machine, which has 2GB of ram and an AMD dual.

Lil, actually, post your current computer's specs.

HP sucks. Plus, you can get more for your money if you custom build it.

HP's actually the best I've seen. Dell is BAD. Custom builds are awesome. :D

If you buy one of HP's new notebooks/netbooks, they have this thing built onto their motherboards that, lets say you want to add a 3G modem or bluetooth to an empty PCI-e slot, you put it in, OH WAIT, the BIOS isn't gonna let your PC boot because the PCI-e card isn't HP branded! And I wouldn't be surprised if they did the same with their desktop PC's now.
And there's nothing wrong with Dell, I used one from 2007-a few months ago, it worked just fine for me, never gave me any problems.
However, indeed, Custom Built PC's are the best.

That's just handicapped. My brother just got a new HP laptop. I like it. But the setup is just annoying. We don't want to watch hands bring up the next menu, that we're just going to say no to.
