Post by: unlucky alf on 14 February 2009, 17:14:11

my p,c decided to go pop yesterday [fri 13th] so had to find a p,c pronto, spotted this so thought id go for it,,,,[350165958664] not a lover of flashing lights etc but the spec is better than mine was!, just want to know if its a bargain or not,,, im on my other halfs prehostoric p,c now but its so slow you can go to the pub, then to the cinema & perhaps a meal & when you get home it just might have booted up :D

It's very clever the way it detects wether you are trying to txt speak
or discussing bolt sizes.
Hello m8 (I'm too gay and stupid to spell mate)

Could I have some m8 bolts please.

See what I mean.

not a problem with operating system or other software its just that when it comes to p,c`s its all got too complicated,[age thing!] im just hoping ive got a bargain as money is tight but do need a p,c so hope i havent paid over the top :-/

Yuck!

But it will probably do what you want it to, despite being AMD junk...

They seemed to lose their way ages ago.  But then any modern PC is fast enough for most tasks :)

Still, AMD are looking a bit dire financially. AMD own ATI.  Saying that, nVidia are not looking good - lost something like $150m in the last quarter :o

i only went for an AMD as somebody recommended them, at least its dual core which hopefully will help it chug along plus its got a warranty, just hoping the bloody fairy lights on it are turn offable :D, out of interests sake TB what would have been my best bet processor wise?
