hello...
i'm new to all this so i don't really understand all the jargon anyway, i'm planning on buying a P4 3.2 ghz CPU, (don't want to buy a pre-made Vaio) and someone suggested for me to get a P4P800...so i looked online at pricewatch.com and all of a sudden there's different types of that model, like a plain p4p800, an S version, and a VM version. umm...let's see...i'm planning on installing a geforceFX 5600 video card, and an s.b. audigy 2 platinum sound card (i'm going to use pro tools so i'd like a nice sound card). and god only knows i'm absolutely going to cry when it comes to selecting RAM and a hard drive. someone suggested PC3200 DDR 512 MB and i'm guessing that's generic and i'll need to select a brand, as for the HD...something like 160 GB EIDE (dunno if I said that right) and I need to select a brand for that as well. IN SHORT, i'm only 100% sure about the CPU, sound card, and video card. can someone please help me out???
hehe...wasn't sure the person who suggested all the stuff for me knew best since he's just a beginner himself. sorry for the long post.
