    "Integrated Sound Blaster® Audigy™ ADVANCED HD software [add £10.00 + VAT]" Is this actually a card or just some software? If it's just software I wouldn't bother.


    yes it probably is .. there is an option to upgrade to a sound card

    this one ...

    Sound Blaster® X-Fi Xtreme Music PCI Soundcard [add £40.00 + VAT] = £47


    No point in getting a firewire card, most external drives connect via USB 2 which is similar speed to firewire.

    Personally I wouldn't bother with the Corel software either, Vista has nice tools for managing photos built in and you can Gimp for free for image editing.


    that's as I thought so thanks for that

    "you can Gimp for free for image editing"

    Rereading that it looks really dodgy! :D

    Obviously I meant "you can get
    Gimp for free for image editing"
    It's my problem, it's my problem
    If I feel the need to hide
    And it's my problem if I have no friends
    And feel I want to die

    Hi
    Did you get a Dell with integrated TV tuner. I am looking at one of these for my daughters bedroom and would like to know if you think it worked ok for watching tv on. Thanks

    no I went for the vostro without tv tuner - I can upgrade to that in the future but don't have it yet

    good luck with your hunt - check the inspiron deals - they do keep changing
