The first set of specs isn't good cos the processor can only run as fas as the ram so your 800MHz chip becomes 533 cos there is a bottle neck in the data paths.

Steer clear of the celery processors too.

Liam

i personally would steert clear of dell as there specs are always lower than smaller pc builders from what ive seen

Maybe outside your budget but a good system all the same

Show this to your kids when you have them and they shout "I want" and stamp their feet when you say no!!!

Beau, you don't do yourself any favours, do you.

You are just coming across as a spoilt little brat - no doubt this PC will get mistreated as well, alongside everything else you touch.

One day you will learn.....

£460 wow, I never got near that sometimes for my Xmas!

Crazy, I suggest you read up on maintenance before geting this one because you will end up with a non-bootable system before long.

Liam

i was happy when given a 400 pound TV for my 18th! 460 pound computer for your christmas when all you need it for is to moan and annoy us on here? your very lucky
