Need a Computer

[True_Snake]

Hey guys. I'm looking for a computer which is over 2.0 GHZ, has a 40 GB hard disk, preferrably a floppy drive, and a CD writer (not necessary), and I would like Windows XP, but if it's without it, it's okay. Also, it should have an audio and video card (doesn't matter if it's on board).

EDIT:I also need 256 MB of RAM.


Now for my budget, I don't have alot to spend, but I can spend upto $350-$375 Canadian Dollars.

Also, I would prefer that it be from a store, because it has warranties, but individuals are okay too, if it's a really good deal. In addition, I would like the shop/person to be located in Canada, but again, it's okay if it's from the States.

Does anyone think I'm asking for too much for too little?

I would really appreciate it if you guys can help me find one thats right for me!

Thanks!

Whats the Computer going to be used for? Not for Gaming?

GOD BLESS

Well, I'm not too much into gaming. A little though, I'd probably have a game or two.
I need it for more basic uses. Thats why I don't want an exceptional video card, because, frankly, I'm not going to use it!

What do you guys think. Is it worth like $50?

I am hearing that the Dimension 3000 doesn't allow for another video card, and the one it has 'intel extreme 2' is apparently weak.

Does anyone know of this?

Please help!
