Two things really, Ive got around £600 to get a new PC to go off to Uni with and dont really know what to get. Also Ive seen a spec on EuroPC and have a similar question to the poster below - is it a rip off?
The Spec is as followsWindows XP Home
- Intel Pentium 4 2660Mhz Processor
- 512Mb DDR SDRAM pc266Mhz CL2.5 2100
- 80GB IDE Fast access hard drive
- DVD ReWriter
- DVD-Rom
- Sound on board
- 128Mb Radeon 9000 tv out
- Standard onboard 10/100 RJ45 NIC
- Modem 56K
- Six USB ports
- 1 DIMM slot used 1 free
- 3 PCI Slots Free
- AGP slot used
- One serial port
The price for the system is £499 inc VAT. Its a factory refurb job, but its guarenteed. Apart from the sound, which I'll upgrade i think it looks ok - any opinions?
As for the other question - what will £600 buy me, I need a system with a CDBurner+DVD Drive, reasonably large hard drive and plenty of RAM/a decent processor.
Cheers in advance anyone that might be able to help!
