Please can someone help, I currently have a P4 3ghz 512mb pc and I'm very happy with the speed, I would like to buy another similar speed pc.
My budget is upto £200 without monitor or £300 with monitor.
Would this do the trick?

or would this be better?

as a quick look the big pockets one has a much faster processor but half the ram of the svp one. Xp and no lcd monitor on big pockets. On SVP vista and a 1.6 cpu might be a little sloooow.
Personally I'd go for the big pockets one, providing the extra ram is cheap enough.GOOGLE it before you ask, you'll often save yourself a lot of time.0 -
have you tried www.aria.co.uk they do some very good deals
;look in the superspecials i think you'll find alot cheaperIf you find yourself in a fair fight, then you have failed to plan properly
I've only ever been wrong once! and that was when I thought I was wrong but I was right0 -
Had a quick look the big pockets machine, steady there, don't like the words 2x 2.8Ghz are there implying something about the processor speed x2 so it's like a 5.6Ghz?
Also "AS NEW / 3 months warranty" Sounds a bit off.0
