    It's a sempron 3200, it's definitely not a misprice! :p

    Personally, I wouldn't recommend anyone buying it.

    Depends on what you want it for, for people who just for surfing the internet the asda one would do fine.

    Personally I would go for the dell D04E03 @ £411 delivered, as you were prepared to pay £399 for the asda one http://configure.euro.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?c=uk&l=en&cs=ukdhs1&kc=&oc=D04E03 and chuck in an extra gig of ram from ebuyer while it's so cheap http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/92879 for £23.61 with the google discount or hang around for something better.
