Still, I suppose mine still runs all games that I've tried at a decent resolution/framerate, so it's not all bad
I think were more or less in the same camp Database
As mine only cost 280 quid then Id say mines probably a little more 'bang for your buck' than whats being posted right now
Clearly Gunjacks a tad behind, but then if the 'average' people posted im sure things would look a lot better for us:idea:0 -

Its a 500 gig (normal) 7200rpm hard drive, with a small SSD drive built inside, the most frequently used files/sectors are cached into the SSD for super fast access.
