Vile is right,there is no videocard. There is no geforce 6100 “card”,geforce 6100 is the name for Nvidia’s onboard video chipset.It seems as if they’ve given you onboard video :tdown: The lowest Geforce card you can buy is the 6200 and its like $40. I dont want to sound like a idiot or anything but that system can be built like for $500.:tdown: shame on them. ---

it’s also media center 2005… with a tuner and software… so it’s no $500 system… it’s priced at what it should be… he just didnt list ALL the specs. but yeah… all it needs is a x1600 pro or greater… or 7800GT video card and a new power supply… ---

For the processor and the monitor I guess its a decent price. But that video card is slap in the face. ---

damn man, i am impressed by your hardware EDIT: for those of u that think thats an overpriced machine you must not be up to date on ur hardware. Hes running a DUAL CORE AMD, 2 gig of ram, 320gig HDD, and fucking 21" widescreen monitor(which i would assume is flat panel). :ham: ---

yea its a flat panel screen. and dont forget the i upgraded the monitor which slapped on another 300 on the price and im glad i got that monitor its huge. i do plan on upgrading the card but not anytime soon its just not needed for anything i do really, im not a hardcore gamer only once and a while. ---
