    i don't know if i'm really looking right now, but wondering if these are any good? i'm not really a gamer, but who knows later on. this was in a sales ad here at fry's. i'm just trying to get a feel of what i should look for, and what i can get away with till later on. oh, and for now i'd probably use xp home or pro (probably home). thx, sos
