oh beleive me, she wants too...bad >_>;
but that would leave her without a gamer comp for awhile =-/
i think when i finally get too move down there, im going to buy myself a new comp, and give her this one (which is still a pretty damn good comp, easily upgradable too)
Asus p5k-e Mobo (crossfire/SLI capable, up to 8gb ram)
ATI 3850 HD, 256mb
Antec Sonata 3 mid tower case
2gb DDR2 866mhz ram (i think its OCZ, too lazy to check)
but yeah, she could put a couple hundred dollars into it, (actually i was offering to cover this part too ^^
get a 512mb GFX card to put as primary and crossfire the 3850hd, and another gig of ram (or more if she wanted to update to vista 64bit) and it would be a great machine for awhile to come at least =)
i've yet to have any stability issues ever, i've run every game on high that ive played, (which includes AoC) and it's so quiet i can barely hear it running =)
but yeah, until then, i guess she's stuck with a dell...once i get her mine tho, the dell will probably come to a VERY unfortunate (but well deserved) end ;D
