Just seen this for sale for £475 including delivery... I have seen it compares to a Core2duo E6600 performance wise and I cant see a E6600 system for anywhere near that price. Has anybody seen spec like this for cheaper???

AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ Dual Core Processor
2048MB DDR 2 667Mhz RAM
250GB Hard Disk
18x DVD Rewriter Multiformat (+/-) Drive & DVD (Single drive)
19” Flat widescreen TFT display (1440*900) + Integrated Speakers
256mb nVIDIA 6100 PCI Express Graphics (SMA)
Multi Format Card Reader / Writer (13 in 1)
7.1 Surround Sound
Microsoft Keyboard & Optical Mouse
Microsoft Windows XP Home

BTW I was specifically looking for a system with XP so not bothered about VISTA.. (Have a retail copy anyway)

    yeah its worth the money - and don't get hung up on core II duo most people won't use them to their full potential and their full potential comes from overclocking anyway.

    Thanks.. Just got to figure out if the motherboard will take a PCI-E video card as the one it has is on board...
