Not bad value is the 'Dell Outlet', not bad delivery and they usually have some kind of offer on most of the time. Steve

SWMBO has not made any complaints about it's performance when doing graphical stuff so it must be OK. I agree with the statement that extra memory (RAM) is far more important than extra MHz. Much better to go for a lower spec. processor (P4 3ishGHz) and put 2Gb RAM in it. Should be well OTT for most of your requirements. Another distinction to look for is SATA (Serial ATA) hard disk rather than standard ATA as they appear to work a lot better AFAIAC. PC World (on-line) had some refurbished base units (re-use your old monitor etc) at a good price last week. Else try Novatech or Dabs or Ebuyer. Regards Graham www.jannock.org.uk Yahoo!
