2GB RAM isn't a lot but for the money it's expected. You can always upgrade later by simply going to http://www.crucial.com/uk/

Worryingly the CPU is pretty poor but again, for the money you can't expect an all singer all dancing processor.

On the plus side you've got a dedicated graphics card so it'll play games better than an inbuilt one albeit they may not be the newest or on the highest settings.

A similar machine from Dell has a slightly bigger hard disk drive, an intergrated (worse) graphics card, is £20 cheaper but doesn't include a monitor (£80 and upwards). The monitor bundled with the Tesco's PC is very nice too, excellent brand and great size.

So I'd say go for the Tesco one (good find!).

I second ebuyer.

TBH are you bothered about the monitor, because I'd spend all of that money on the PC and then buy a cheap monitor from a second hand place or something as these tfts can be expensive

Noooooo, go with Tesco!

The aisle stackers. trolley pushers and checkout people are also highly trained in technical support!
