Hi,
I am looking to replace my desktop and wondered what people thought of this one.
Here is the main specs:
Processor type: AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 processor 3800+
Operating system installed: Genuine Windows Vista™ Home Premium Platform
With AMD Live!™ Chipset - NVIDIA® GeForce™ 6150LE Chipset
Standard memory: 1 GB
Memory type: DDR2-SDRAM
Memory slots: 2 DIMM sockets
Internal hard disk drive: 320 GB
Hard disk controller: SATA Hard Disk Drive
Hard disk drive speed (7200 rpm)
DVD RAM and Double Layer ±R/ ±RW 16x/8x max supporting LightScribe technology
System features
Video adapter: NVIDIA® GeForce™ 7500 LE TurboCache with PureVideo technology
Video RAM: 256 MB dedicated video memory
Internal audio: High Definition Audio 7.1
It is on the site for £399, but you can get £40 off when you sign up to their newsletter and delivery would only be £4.99 + VAT, I plan to get this monitor from Play.com for £89.99. Giving a total cost of about £450.
Just want to know if this is good value for money.
Cheers
