this is poor deal compared to the dell which is listed on this forum - the dell comes with a better processor and monitor included for less than the standaolne price of the acer

That PC has only got a Dual Core processor, while the Acer has a Quad core. The Graphics card is only 128mb on the dell while on this one is 256mb.

Looks good!

Are the new Phenom processors as good as the Intel ones?

Hmm I'm very tempted, but does anyone know what motherboard this is?

I don't know about that generalist comment.

I used to build PCs for a living - no end of hassles from unstable drivers or hardware incompatibilities - and I don't bother any more as Dell is actually good quality kit, with a reasonable warranty, at a reasonable price. They were flaky a few years back but todays stuff ain't bad at all from my experience.

Only downside: all the software they pre-install (but then, for people who aren't experts, it WILL be making their lives easier, and experts like you and me can do a clean install though it might take a bit of time.

And you're saying your PCs haven't crashed in 9 years - I don't believe that for a minute. They're either left switched off, not being used much at all or are running Linux! :rotfl:

seriously! i will admit my brothers got a virus, but thats THE only problem weve ever had, the latest dell weve had (no choice, company thing' is just over a year old and i HATE the thing with a passion, its complete rubbish, i mean it even came with a ball mouse for crying out loud! i didnt even know they were still bein made! thing is so slow and noisy and constantly having the receptionist asking me for help, shes not even good lookingor my age or i wouldnt mind haha

o and 1 more thing, on the computer im using at the mo which i got in 99, i have restarted windows all over a few years back to refresh it and get rid of all the crap as it was gettin abit slow, still going good though!

The intel quad cores are basically two dual cores mounted one on top of the other, hence bottlenecked results when parsing data between one bus to the other bus, thus unless a program supported full quad core completely, or had some decent support for multi threading in dual core, there is always that slow down of data (even by nano seconds).

The AMD Phenom is true quad core technology with a fantastic 1800Mhz front side bus!

It's a tempting spec. With room for expansion. I'm inclined to stick with XP for various reasons when I replace my PC but Thanks for posting. Welcome to the forum.
