[Muppet]

Here's a build, excluding monitor

 

[Gizmogle]

You expect him to know what all that means? I know I wouldn't have when I was at that age...

Wow thanks mate , thats what I need , hard drive , procceser wow. Although I will keep that in mind thanks. Ive been looking at this aswell Aspire T180 £295 with 250GB space but 500GB would sort me fine. Dose it come with VISTA and 1GB ram?.

This is what Kuju needs:
Operating system: Windows XP with latest service pack installed / Windows Vista
CPU: Intel Pentium 4/AMD Athlon 3.0 GHz or equivalent
RAM: 1.0GB
Video Card: 256MB DirectX 9.0c compliant video card, Pixel shader 3.0 and above. (AGP and PCIe only)
Sound card: Sound Blaster® X-Fi™ series from Creative Labs
Hard Drive space: 4.5 GB of space is required to install the game

That spec shows 1GB DDR2. I'd imagine software would be excluded however.

 

[Muppet]

Basically:

Core 2 Duo 2.33GHz x2 so 4.66ghz
2 Gigs of Ram
500 GB of HDD
MSI Motherboard
7600 GT PCI-e

Should work fine.

It Doesn't come with a operating system.

You can buy vista, but its a extra 150+ for Vista Home Premium. You not got a old XP CD you can use?

500GB from ebuyer I think - £356
Acer 250GB with vista - £295


Which is the question!?.

 

[Tom]

Fred, I would personally go for the 500gb model but please note that most of the prebuilt machines are generally built with rubbish graphics cards

Also remember that you'll have to put this computer together yourself, so if you never home built a computer before, it may be wise to get someone who knows how

http://www.ginger6.com/intel-ultra-quad-gaming-p-29196.html - I might buy that , I can just out a decent graphics card in. The one Im using now has a very good graphics card but only 110GB space left and Ive only got 16 left and with a HDD aswell!.

 

[mbonwick]

No, you only have 16GB left on your HDD, that is your hard disk

 

[devon_metro]

My recommendation is to get 2GB ram if you are running Vista.

[mbonwick]

Slightly off topic, but does anyone know any good Core 2 Duo compatible mobos?

Thanks,

 

[LondonBVE]

Lol, Mac Mini. I am now considering taking Vista Premium when I do the upgrade, here is around 20 pound cheaper for Vista Premium to XP Pro. I find it quite ridiculous though.

Theres a good enough card in that system anyway

Have you considered Vista Ultimate?
