    Id rather pay the extra and get a £130 or so bundle personally, you'll get a better mixture

    Why is it on it's last legs, what's the current PC spec. Facebook ain't exactly intensive.
    Owner of andrewhope.co.uk, hate cars and love them

    Working towards DFD

    HSBC Credit Card - £2700 / £7500
    AA Loans - (cleared £9700)
  • it just really slow, config it back to factory setting but still still running crap, no sure of full specs but it a packard bell i bought 6 years ago, built my own one so she got mines

    Slow loading web pages, used it the other night n got bored waiting lol

    Might just need some memory n a full clean again...not sure

    to be quite honest the only thing that bundle has going for it is its low price, other than that it sucks, single core cpu, 1gb ram, and a naff mobo.

    what sort of budget are you looking at for 'upgrading'?

    on a £100 shop you might on average get 70 items save
    10p per product = £7 a week ~ £28 a month
    20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
    30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)

    whats you 'whole' build requiring, as you do pay a slight premium for a bundle, and if you building the rest you may as well build it yourself, it really isnt that difficult :D
