Acer rolls out ASM5800, ASM3202, ASX5810 desktop PCs

Sure, Acer's newly-refreshed Predator gaming rig is all well and good if you like your PCs orange and menacing, but less adventuresome folks need PCs too, and Acer's more than happy to cater to them as well with a range of decidedly more understated offerings. New on that front is the company's just-announced ASM5800 (pictured above) and ASM3202 models, the former of which packs your choice of Intel Core 2 Quad or AMD Phenom II X4 processors, 4GB to 8GB of RAM, 750GB or 1TB hard drives, and ATI Radeon HD 4650 or NVIDIA GeForce GT 230 graphics, while the later is an AMD-only affair with a Phenom II X4 925 processor, ATI Radeon HD3200 graphics, 2GB to 8GB of RAM, and a 640GB or 750GB hard drive. Rounding out the lot is Acer's slightly slimmer ASX5810 Aspire X PC (pictured after the break), which offers up a Core 2 Quad Q8200 processor, 3GB of RAM, a 1TB hard drive, GeForce 120 graphics, and a bundled 20-inch LCD. No word on a release 'round here just yet, but all three will be available in Japan by next week for between 69,800 and 139,800 (or about $730 to $1,460).

Finally, cases that don't look like they are for kids/women

Whats wrong with cases that look like they're made for kids or women?

They look like they are made for kids or women

You should stop looking at the case and focus on the content on the computer screen instead perhaps?

Finally, cases that look like they are for seniors and Civil War veterans.

3 Words. Ugly, Outdated, and Overpriced. Who in there right mind would want those heaping piles of crap.

Not sure I'd consider the Phenom II X4 outdated but to each his own.

[kennethmoestrup Posted Aug 3rd 2009 9:50AM]

Yep, rectangular shaped hardware is outdated, please come up with some fresh ideas. Gees.

How much ram does a computer need nowadays? I'm buying a computer soon with a phenom II X4 940, HD 4890 and 4 gig of ram. What I'm asking is if 4 gig of ram is adequate for 64-bit vista? I've just heard vista hogs lots of ram from posters on this website. I just want to be able to play Crysis in peace :)

Thankyou

[GingerFox Posted Aug 4th 2009 12:21PM]

vista uses about 1GB ideling, so you will be fine on 4GB, i have 4 on 32bit and its been great, 64bit would be even better.
