that's good.

the graphics card is obviously the most important thing to you I assume, and it is sad that that is the only thing which it is lacking. But another £140 would buy you a decent card so that is a great deal

Also, can you get model/make of motherboard?

 

[Siamese Fighter05]

It's a desktop and i went to pick it up today but instead ended up looking at a different one.

AMD2 Athlon 64 4600+ Quad S)
Radeon 512DDR Graphic card (He said it's better than the other 1)
1024 RAM
250GB Hard Drive
7.1 Sound Channel
16X CD RW
It has a much cooler case as well which lights up blue

I'll ask about the motherboard is i don't have a clue what that is

That PC is £20 more and brand new again, which one is best?

Thanks for your help

He did say i could upgrade it for gaming to a radeon 1gb graphics card but the price put us off

 

[demonmagus]

yeh, ask for the model of motherboard and graphics gard, tbh the 512 bit doesn't mean that much

 

[voo]

I'd have thought most computers now would be coming with a DVD-RW, or at least a dvd combi / dvd drive.

 

[demonmagus]

oh yeah, missed that bit, you'll need a DVD drive as some games now come on DVD

The motherboard will be crap, and so is the graphics by the looks of things.

Ask if it's a PCI-Express mobo-gfx card.

The 6000 series of graphics are well out of date now dude....

 

[Siamese Fighter05]

Yeah it's DVD RW BTW

Still didn't ask about the motherboard i'll ring them tommorow

He did say something about PCI Express but i didn't catch it all so i'll have to ask.

is there such thing as a radeon 60 000? It's the one with the king kong on the case of any of you know?
That's the graphic card if it is anyway.

Might it be

1600 ?

If it is then I have this card in one of my machines. Its ok but not the best for games.

Basically check that you have a motherboard is SLI enabled, PCI-E enabled and the case is full size.

The price sounds very good and if you where to buy it it for around £200 you could get a real nice graphics card and maybe and extra 1gb of ram.

If you know what your looking for there are some BARGINS on Ebay.

I just got an ATI X1800XTX 512mb for £100 BARGIN
