Dave, pricing muck up on Dell, they often honour them (but DO check before it goes through so may phone to say "we made an error, sorry, do you want to purchase at full price?). But:

The graphics card is awful.....it's a computer for business tasks.

Alex, if you try again it should work, i have done it 3 times now and worked twice, failed once.

Same here, keep perservering and it will get to basket eventually.

Dell always amaze me at the price level of their options - £23.50 to add a FDD, for instance.

gfx can be upgraded... at the mo im on 4mb gfx cant be as bad as that... struggles to even play counter strike lol

what gfx is it?

still cant get in, tried 4-5 times now

Reckon on board gfx, can't get on there now myself....

Can't complain at upgrading the CPU though and them subtracting £90 though hey Stu?

I can give you one to get it with 17" TFT I think for £220.

You should try it a few times.

I have heard you can't (CAN'T) upgrade the GPU. You can't disabled it. No idea if correct.

I would definitely say this is NOT A GAMES machine, so you have been warned.

Click back and try again. It's going through for some people.

Does anyone know if you can put a PCI Graphics card into these machines ?

went for that one,
Thank you, we have received your internet order.

Your Internet Receipt Number is*******

Apparently it has ended now.

With dell, they will check through each order to confirm it (a human does this). They will decide if they can honour it. If not, expect a phone call to apologise for "pricing error" - if this happens it's fair enough. They won't have charged your card etc. and this is clear to see on the website.

They honoured last time and thousands possibly went through.

i've had to put it off for another day/time... got bored of seeing error screen plus on dialup so it takes years to load each time... hey its my bday soon... maybe if i ask parents nicely lol

But console doesn't have America's Army on it

Looking at tech specs, it has Integrated Intel® Extreme Graphics 2 AND 3 PCI slots, but no mention of AGP slot.

Still, can't knock it at that price
