I just bought a new
AMD Athlon Thunderbird 1GHZ that was custom built to MY specifications,in which you get more for your money.
Off the shelf computers are composed of cheaper hardrives,soundcards,etc, etc,which don't allow a person to have the best when it comes to performance,sound,graphics,etc.
Tell your mom if she's already having problems with this computer,to bring it back and get her money back.If you get this far with her,let me know I'll set her up with the place that built my computer,they have a ordering system online..
