I'd like you to meet my good friend, HTML overkill.

As for what you'll need for a computer, Derek or Chris (Blackpawn) will probably be able to give you the best idea, but minimal, I'd say get a 3.0 Ghz processor (Although an Intel Core Duo of a slower speed [i.e. 2.0 GHz] will suffice, as long as it's Core Duo), 1GB or DDR2 RAM, GeForce 7900 or it's ATI equivalent, such as the X1650 Pro, and stick with the XP operating system. Don't touch Vista if you want to continue playing America's Army, or many of the other games we play.

Avoid the main manufacturers, get a gaming computer that has good stats and reviews. I know that Alienware and Voodoo are both good, but incredibly overpriced and are a waste of money. I recommend Phantom PCs or Vicious Gaming computers. These have the same parts as most alienwares but don't have the fancy cases. I also found a company called Vigor Gaming I am not familiar with, but their prices are very low and they seem to have some good deals. Basically, you'd have to get these online and refer to Pack's post for the parts you should have inside it. Make sure you get a couple years worth of warrenty too.

Before you buy anything, even if I told you it's good.... Do your research

You could also build your own computer by buying parts seperately, Im sure Chris can give you some specs on that side of things.

Hey Fire I'm looking into maybe getting a Vigor comp so if you read any good reviews or bad ones let me know so I can choose where to get it from. If I find anything I'll let you know too.
