Hi,
Just wanted a few opinions about this PC before I hit the buy button

http://www.additionsdirect.co.uk/AddNet/product.aspx?brand=Additions&cat_id=0&zone_id=0&prod_id=271868

I was going for option 4 as it has pc/printer/19" flat screen and 250Gb HDD and 1Gb RAM

I'm also thinking that maybe I should wait a few months and get one with Vista already installed.

Any thoughts???

Thanks
Teresa

    it's not going to have a dedicated Video card or soundcard, these will all be built onto the motherboard....

    may be a problem if you are trying to play the latest games

    I don't play games on the computer - apart from the odd game of cards

    Mainly use it for internet use, word/works documents and download a few songs for daughters mp3 player

    that should be fine...Dell + PCWorld are offering free vista upgrades when it arrives...not sure if this meets the spec as it does not say
