I'm sure they're no better than Dell, HP, Gateway, or any of those companies.
Stop just looking at the MHz, they're not what's important. A 2.2Ghz Athlon64 can keep up with that 3.66Ghz P4 easily.
"Brand quality" doesn't mean anything if you don't know what brand the components are. Companies like MDG skip out on quality for all of the major parts that no one ever cares or thinks about. The PSU in that thing for example would be generic garbage, because when people buy computers they don't ask "Hey what kind of PSU is in this?" I don't want anything powering all of my expensive parts that hasn't stood the test of time through 1000s of other PC enthusiasts and builders.
When people like you look for computer they look for a few key things: The amount of Mhz, the amount of RAM, and the amount of HD space. MDG is pitching huge numbers at you for all 3 of those catagories. Under no circumstances does that mean those are quality components.
"Aftermarker video" doesn't leave much to be desired either. Probably no more than a radeon 9250, or Geforce 6100. (junk)
Here's a computer for $900 with actual quality components. Just throw a case in there for another $50. Not saying you should go with this, just an exmaple to try and get my point across.
