LOL by no means am I a intel fan boy I still have a S939 Opteron 165 with 7950 GX2 SLI that my GF uses to game on.
Quad cores are used for servers end statement
AMD'S AM2 chips just aren't that good intel got there a$$es whooped by amd with the S939 chips and rebuilt there chips from the ground up with new technology something amd wasn't expecting and there chip was bltch slapped by the C2D
You talk about expanding with that machine and I am telling you forget it that 300watt psu won't let you expand that micro tower won't give you room to use those extra slots or to add a new power supply(chances are that mobo will only work with acer branded PSU's)
seriously pm me and we can talk over aim and I can set you up with a nice system for that price custom built hell I can even show you how to do it so you don't have to have some one els come and fix it.
I was hoping the amd's 4X4 quad cores would pack a punch but they don't intels quad cores are so much better hence why they cost more
and yes you will be able to tell the difference between running 2x2gb or even 2x1gb over 2x1gb+2x512 it is called dual channel
and don't forget about the 49.99 video card you are gettign that will barley run pong
and like tru2chevy said build a rig with a little bit older parts such as the X2 chips or opteron chips from AMD those are still running strong and can handle any game on the market right now and for the same price as that acer will out perform it 2 ta 1 if not better yes you will have to use ddr ram over ddr2 and seeing as a nice set of ddr ram costs nothing now days and it will our perform that 3gb POS lower then store brand ram that is included with the acer **** if your such a AMD hard ball I have a DFI lanparty NF3 mobo sitting in my closet I will sell you or possibly even my s939 rig running DFI lanparty NF4 SLI DR (it is water cooled and custom by all means)
in the end listen to my advice or not keep this in mind you get what you pay for and if it is to good to be true it is!!
