I don't know what is a good computer from a bad one mate :-[

Thats why I thought i would ask the guys on ere, but they have fried me head ;D

Me too - they are just words and numbers.  :-[ My sister works at PC World, should I ask her?  I know TB and Laidback can't say enough good things about them. ::)

So on Loo-Knee's behalf can we have the above translated into english please?

Chopsdad you have yet again touched my heart :-*

But I wasn't very happy with PC World the last time I bought one from there (no disrespect to your Sis) as they didn't seem to know what they were on about...... although it could have possibly been Me who just didn't understand what on earth they were on about ;D

No Daz, my sister has no clue about what she's recommending - but she has got a huge TV with staff discount :-X I suspect they're all the same  ;D

do some nice laptops at reasonable prices .. and you can choose which operating system you want .. or none at all if you already have a disc.

Click on "view model" to see the price differences for the choices of operating systems. several past clients have purchased from here and been well pleased. So far no bad reports of after sales problems

Cheers for the link mate but I don't no one from another and what Ram or whatever I need :-[

All I do know is she needs something to do her homework on, perhaps going on the net to looking up things, and then if I fancy going on it downstairs to come on here or flea bay ;D
Thats it really ::)

Tiggers got a novatech lappy, had it a year or two now with no prob other than getting a bit hot which needed the dust cleaning from the cpu but I've trained her to do that herself now.

There is no way we are smarter than a 10 year old mate ;D

Now that's not true.  I fell asleep watching cos Noel drags it out so much and the young un was still answering questions when I woke up.

Now who's the smart one  ::) ;D

Nowadays to make a machine run well, you are looking at 1G RAM for XP, and 2G for Vista.  A decent dual core processor (Intel for laptops due to power) is nice.  For Vista, the added overhead of a powerful video card.


Now I know a lot of people will come back saying XP runs fine in 512Mb, but 512Mb is right on the limit for XP now, already paging lightly at that point.  Laptop hard disks are relatively slow, so paging is bad, bad news.  With many laptops having integrated graphics, stealing system RAM, the situation is worse.

My current, but old Tosh has a P4 2Ghz, 768Mb RAM, and that really needs rebuilding every 3 - 6 months to keep it running reasonable.  It has XP Pro on it, as Vista is really bad on it, taking ages to boot up.

The poor lappy is knackered - screen hinges gone, DVD writer (2nd replacement worn out), floppy drive mostly missing (yes has built in floppy, thats how old it is), and sufferring from being dropped when I was in bath a month or so ago (case and keyboard took the brunt).  'bout time I got a new one ::)
