Have decided on this comp, any reason I shouldnt get it. The GHZ seems fine. Is 2MB of memory okay?

Thanks

The computer will run Vista Home Premium with no problems and most other software easily. The only things that it won't be able to handle will be intensive gaming (as the graphics are Intel integrated with the motherboard) and lots of heavy video editing because of the amount of RAM and the graphics. But if you just want it for office applications and surfing the net then it should run fine.

Hope that helps

Should I be able to get better for that much or is that standard for £429?

The amount of RAM installed should not sway your choice of PC, as that is inexpensive and easy to upgrade.

Moreover you should decide what will fit your needs.

My computing needs were simple, so I can make do with less. I paid 250 pounds for my PC including a printer.

Haven't outgrown it yet.

Theres lots of companies out there with some great deals its worth shopping around. Does that one come with a monitor?

check https://www.novatech.co.uk they have some good systems and are reliable. Also I would spec a PC for self build as you can tailor it to your needs.

Why would you buy a Dell from PC World, you'd do much better dealing direct.

Go to https://www.dmxdimension.com to see the latest offers, the one you mention looks a bit like old stock to me?

Nearest I could see was this one at £399:-

is this one better than the one I originally mentioned?

seems it doesnt come with Windows Vista?

unfortunatley they are bare bone systems, its not the only company out there though. You dont need to run straight to PC world.

https://www.cclcomputers.co.uk used to be ok I have had purchases from them in the past
https://www.scan.co.uk sometimes have good offers on too.

btw some QI info the reason that company is called novatech is because the founder started his buisness from the back of a vauxhall Nova hehe. Theres a picture of it up in there shop. But I have bought loads of equipment from them and there great my current PC i got nearly 3 years ago from there and my digital camera and other stuff and its all still going strong.
