Same thing, read the Techie forum....just uncle Gates getting another 50 notes out of you!
And it is Premium upgrade at Comet, as the machine comes with MCE

Surely would be better to have Vista Premium upgrade DVD as then you could use the disc on other computers if you were so inclined:D

Thats a nasty graphics card... don't expect to be able to play any of the higher end games if thats what your using the pc for.

If your looking for a nice new pc, your better off building it yourself.. you can save hundreds and come out with a better pc. If you don't know what your doing, then your probably better off by going down to your local pc cornershop type place and getting a quote... majority of the time, they won't charge as much and you can customise bits and pieces.

Besides the shared graphics card, it's a fast machine for the money. The card will use ~250MB out of the 1GB of RAM and not good for games as you say.....but i doubt you could build a Dual Core system (with Vista Premium OS) for this money.

It's a perfectly good machine for the vast majority of people. I've bought several Acers from work and they all seem well put together with proper branded components inside (Gigabyte motherboads, etc). I would be happy with one of these for myself (not a big gamer at all).
