it's the basic one they sell them with, the main reason im looking at this one is cos the company has a buy now pay in 6 months thing and then u can pay monthly, pay more, but for people on tiny budgets like myself, would come in quite handy. You can upgrade to 17" but remember how far behind the UK is in things, like so many exchanges that can't even get ADSL Net yet

Ram Wise i'd be tempted to ask for 2gigs, but I'm not sure how flexible they are, definitely the kinda system I wanna be looking at tho, atm im running an AMD Athlon 1000mhz and 384mb ram (added 256 a while back) but the system is 3 years old and some now, so it's served me well, only one hdd died on me too, just seems time to look for something to last a long time again into the future (damn my 14" monitor from my old 486 surely has to go

Defo worthy of drooling.

** drools **

f'n hell

jesus, what the farking hell do you want 2 gigs of ram for???


Processor - AMD Athlon 64 FX-51 Processor ($746.00US)

gets good ratings, beats intel 3.2ghz...


Memory - 1024MB DDR RAM (2x 512MB)

depending on what you want to do, that's about enough. compared to the rest of your configuration, it's a bit skimpy. what brand is it?


Hard Disk - 400GB 7200 RPM ATA-100 Drive (2x200GB)

that's probably WAY more than enough even for a massive leecher.


Graphics - 256MB ATi Radeon 9800 XT Graphics ($461.00 US)

hmmmm.... are you planning on getting 200FPS in video games?


Monitor - 15" TFT Flat Panel Monitor

a 15" monitor is pretty small

Sound - 6 Channel Sound Onboard

be careful with this. what motherboard is it? most of the time onboard stuff can be pretty sketchy... unless you have ASUS A7N8X deluxe, like i do, which has a 5.1 dolby digital encoder or what the fuck ever onboard.


chip + hard drives + graphics card + memory + monitor = 1,199.56 GBP


add the software + keyboard / speakers + motherboard and i suppose that adds up to 1,500

i'd say it's a bit too much, unless you're a hardcore gamer / overclocker.


where did you find it?
