From: Toby Martin [mailto:toby@coas.oregonstate.edu] Sent: Wednesday, January 18, 2006 8:47 AM To: KIMON TZARATZOURIS (ACMA) Subject: personal computer Hi Kimon! Hope you years is going well. Thanks for the gifts. Marc took the shirt, gave the clock to Dave, and I took the mug. So there was just enough to go around. My brother is looking for a new computer. His old PIII 333 MHz just went through it's second power supply. Obviously he is not playing the latest games, and he isn't even doing much graphics processing anymore, but he is now into music. Additionally I keep trying to wean him away from windows, but I don't know how well that will work out. Anyway, would you please make me a quote for something like: CPU: 2.5 - 3.0 GHz whatever the good price point is. Maybe AMD. RAM: 512 - 1024 MB I tend to think more is better. Network: 100 Mb would be fine. Disk: 100-200- GB whatever the good price point is. Audio: more is better, 5.1 dolby? DVD +-RW, CR+-: all in one Power supply: go up one step on this, 300-450 W Warranty: standard 1 year Please give me a call or e-mail if you have any questions.

Here's the quote. I thought I'd go the AMD route, the Athlon 64's perform so much better than the comparable Intel. The motherboard has the nVIDIA nForce 410 + GeForce 6100 chipsets and also ADI AD1986A 6-CH High Definition audio. I did not include an additional sound card. Please let me know if you want one. The 200GB hard drive is about $ 20.00 more than the 120GB, so I went with it. Please let me know how this looks. Take care, Kimon Tzaratzouris Sales Manager Acma Computers, Inc.
