Hello, I hope to get a reply to this before I go to the shop tomorrow, I just want to double check the specs of it before I turn over the cash.

AMD Athlon X2 5200+
MSI K9A Platinum ATI Crossfire
HIS ATI HD 2600XT 512 MB
2 GB DDR2-800 Transcend aXeRam
Windows VIsta Home prem X64

I want to make sure it will actually run SL, and not get it home and find that the drivers aren't going to work or the vidio

Thanks in advance

The Windows Vista Home Premimum 64 might give you a problem with drivers.......especially for SL. There are programs written to use the 64 bit operating system but very few and they all are for business applications. A 32 bit Vista would be a better choice in my opinion.

aye 64bit windows is next to useless at this point in time
they say its backwards compatible with 32 bit but with 64-bit XP it did nothing but crash out and bluescreen running most of my 32 bit apps ... and the ones that did work were extreamly slooooooow
