[foxatfire]

Key features: AMD quad-core A8-3800 accelerated processor; 8GB DDR3 memory; 1.5TB hard drive; Windows 7 Home Premium; built-in wireless networking; 20" widescreen LED monitor included.... I found this on best buy for under 700 dollars. i have no clue how much RAM this desktop is. im wondering if this is a good computer?

Ok to understand a bit more about the speed of the pc:

RAM is the workspace for the CPU, see like 1GB like a not to big shed, and something like 4GB a big work room, repairing one bike goes as fast in that shed as in a big work room.. but repairing 10 of them will go faster in a big work room, and see the processor cores as the amount of people that do the job.more people make work go faster. so does more processor cores.

you should not always get the largest display possible, always keep in mind how far away you will be sitting. You should see about how far away you will be sitting away and go to a store to see what size is comfortable for you.

Great video. Yes lots of RAM space is key to surfing the internet faster especially when watching videos on YouTube. Having a large hard drive is great but I think having more RAM is more important.

AMD Athlon™ X2 Dual-Core Processors

64

Do more in less time with true multi-tasking

Increase your performance by up to 80% with the AMD Athlon™ X2 dual-core processor. Work or play with multiple programs without any stalling or waiting. Dual-core technology is like having two processors, and two working together is better and faster than one working alone.

and 4 cores is even better than that... and programs are finally being built to use at least 3 cores so quad wont slow u down anymore

as for AMD... they build decent processors but (and I know this will start an argument...lol) Intel is the chipset to go, they run much more efficiently and generally at lower temperatures allowing you to overclock (getting more out of what you have but increasing heat and energy consumption)
