ok, i'm going to buy a new pc- sth cheap and i have a few questions to any PRO in pcs.
1.OS: XP or Vista? I'm kinda pro in tweaking XP as I wish but i thought it;s kinda old so mby Vista would be better? though i have vista only on my laptop so i;m uber noob in it. So i'm just wondering is there any sense of staying on xp? does the Vista have faster boot time, etc? and how about those microsoft updates on a pirate system? can i dl them without any risk?
2.CPU: i can't provide links to the cpus i'm thinking of but in general: is Intel much better than AMD now(i will link both cpus soon)
3.Memory: ddr3, right?
4. HDD: I had seagate but it suffered a malfunction so i wanna western digital now. How about this speed?-7200 or 10000? I'm thinkg about either faster 320Gb or slower 500gb
5.power supply. is 400-450W sufficient? Now i have a chieftec 450 which broke down after 1,5 year-i mean it's still working but the fan bearing is kinda damaged and it makes strange noises. Is there any other good brand? Modecom or Tracer or sth.
