    Anyone know of a place where i can get Microsoft Windows XP Home REALLY REALLY CHEAP???

  • DjinDjin Member, Newbie CommonPosts: 3,263

    Here's the kicker...  if you want to upgrade from Windows 98, NT or 2000 you're going to have to pay $100 for the upgrade.  If you want the "full" version,  I believe that's $300 (maybe $200,  I forget).

    To make my point,  anywhere you go it's going to be the same price...  even in another country... Microsoft made it clear that the upgrade is $100 and the full is $200 worldwide...

    Crappy deal...

    To the guy who's dad works for Microsoft:

       Just so you know what goes on in the real world... Games and Programs from Microsoft aren't 10$. I assume that since your dad works for Microsoft, he gets them for dirt cheap. But please understand that currently, for the average Joe, you have to pay 100-150 $ for Windows XP and between 45-70 $ for new games.  It's not cheap.

    This one isn't anywhere as good as the red deal.  You're losing out on CPU speed, cache and a few others.

    Just get the $699 deal,  and not the current one you're talking about.

    Murt,  e-mail me.

    Never buy the upgrade of anything.  If you can afford it,  always get the full version.

    I deleted your post GunBlade for swearing.

    Mmmmm Geil RAM,  that's really really good RAM.  And the ASUS motherboard is second to none!  Meaning it's uber 1337.

    LOL  "cool green light"

    Nice HDD,  nice CPU.  If you can dish out the money,  I would get the second deal in a heartbeat.

    Some things you can live without though.  Are you really going to watch DVDs on your PC?  If not,  don't get one. :)

    It's a good computer,  but it and be happy.  The videocard is a DirectX 9 card,  which is what EQII will be taking full advantage of.  The other videocards are DX8.
