Last night I was fortunate enough to get another computer from work, CHEAP. $150 CAD for a AMD64 3000+, 512mb Ram, 160gig HD, DVD burner, and the case it came in. No mouse, keyboard, or anything like that, but hey thats what staff purchase is for .
Now that question is, what should i do with it. My main thought is to hook it up to my main tv downstairs and use it as a PVR/Media player. Now the questions that go along with that are which one would be better for the PVR, compared to my gaming/video editing/downloading/day to day stuff. The AMD or my Intel 3.2Ghz(oc to 3.52ghz).
Other factors are the one video card I currently have, an ATI 9600XT, although I've been meaning to upgrade to a BFG 6600GT OC for awhile now, although the money isn't really there to spare right now. And the gig of RAM, so 1.5 gigs between the two.
Any thoughts?
