[tlug] Is Prime PC a good enough place to buy a PC

[Dave Gutteridge <dave@example.com>]

TLUG,
	I'm looking to buy a new computer, with the intention of installing
Ubuntu Linux on it.
	I'm looking at PCs on Prime PC ( http://www.primepc.jp ) because they
seem reasonably priced.
	I don't need a lot of peripherals or anything. I'm looking at theier
mid level entry PCs priced around 60,000 yen.

	I'm wondering if anyone had any advice on buying a Linux-ready computer
in Tokyo.

	Also, on a related note. I notice they're selling Athlon 64 bit
processors. But from what I've read on the CentOS mailing list that I
belong to, a 64 bit processor would require special builds for any
applications run on it. I'm just a home user with general needs. Is a 64
bit processor perhaps not worthwhile for me?
