Model: Fujitsu Siemens
Processor: 3.06 GHz Celeron
Memory: 512MB DDR
Hard-Drive : 160GB 7200rpm
Graphics : Integrated
Screen : 17'' CRT

And if its not, whats a bit weak?

Dont play games, but thats mainly as my PC is shit, is this more than good enough to play good games on it?

Daveyboy

A celeron is a poor mans Pentium. not ideal to play games on. Hasnt got as large a cache memory as a pentium chip. nor is an intergrated video card ideal for gaming.

Stavros

And is this massivley better? Bearing in mind itd be used just for internet/porn/games/porn/porn/porn

Model: Fujitsu Siemens
Processor: 3.4GHz Pentium 4
Memory: 1024MB DDR
Hard-Drive: 250GB 7200rpm
Graphics: ATI Radeon X600
Screen: 19" TFT

Though will cost me twice as much

Or this as the middle option...

Model: Fujitsu Siemens
Processor: 3.2GHz Pentium 4
Memory: 512MB DDR
Hard-Drive: 160GB 7200rpm
Graphics: nVIDIA 6200 LE
Screen: 17" TFT

Daveyboy

yep, thats MUCH better

Stavros

Added another now, whats best value for money youd say, bearing in mind the top one is twice as much as the lowest one, and the other is bang in the middle.

Im poor so money is a huge issue

TrevCannon

Go for the middle opt or spend twice as much its worth it

MWF

Deffo go for as big a drive and screen as poss for the porn.

Daveyboy

you're not going to notice much difference between a 3.2 and a 3.4 to be honest. not for home use anyway. The additional memory will be a help for gaming. if you're just gonna use it for porn and net though, the one with 512 ddr will suffice. if not, prob best to get the one with 1gb memory.

if you can get the 3.4 but with a 17"tft instead of a 19", that should knock the price down a bit.

JohnnyB

Stavros, If you are going to just look at porn and go on WWW the first one is fine.

2 options buy a PS2 as well or go for the expensive one

Stavros

Ok, i just realised how cheap it is, i think i can afford about 25quid out my monthly wages for the next 3years, time for an awesome spec PC i think

I got a PS2, but never use that either

MWF

You buying on their finance package? Might be better to borrow the money from elsewhere.

Get a decent force feedback wheel and Live For Speed, you need no other game.

Jayen4

Well,I'm no computer expert,but I wouldn't have a Pentium chip of any sort !! You need something with an AMD Athlon chip...they always outperform the supposedly equivalent pentium.

Have a look on the 'Mesh' website,they've always got some great deals,plus in the computer mag tests,they always come out number 1 or 2,so they know their stuff !!

How much are you planning to spend ??

Hope this helps !

Daveyboy

nuff said.

nothing wrong with a Pentium chip. Millions will agree

Stavros

Nah, its a tax free computer deal through work.

850quid for that top spec PC, spread over 3years, straight out your wages.

MWF

Top banana

Outside of work i would buy this, incredible value for money:
http://www.gladiatorcomputers.com/Pr...=SearchResults

Are you getting it through a company called Nicator? If so i got a laptop through them, i got:
3.2GHz AMD anthlon
80GB HDD
1GB DDR RAM
256MB graphics card
15.4" widescreen
printer
wireless router
AND ipod mini

all for £35 a month, but that is BEFORE all over reductions, so im effectively paid £35 less, so NI, tax and pension payments all go down, its actually taking just £12 out of my wages. bargain!

Joris_FRST

850 for that ?

I don't think it's so good a deal really then...
They were giving away dells with the new type processor for about 700 ?

Joris_FRST

Oh, and never get a cheapish 19" TFT, ask for the 17",

19" is just a stretched 17" anyway, so if you got really really bad eyes, go for the 19, normal people who don't like to look at blocks buy a 17",

or straight to the 20" that's got higher resolution.

vroooom ptssssh

Jemma

Was gonna say dont get a celeron, I have one from Dell an it's poo slow n sh*te!

Joris_FRST

Celeron is only good if you only surf the web or only use word,

but don't use the two at the same time

Jemma

LMFAO!!!
I would try it.. but dont fancy spendin 2 hours waiting for this peice of sh*t to start up again after crashing

Joris_FRST

= real tears, i'm actually fixing a packard bell celeron for my next door neighbour, takes ages and ages and ages to remove or install anything

Jemma

I feel for you.. I really do!
Took me, an 2 mates (1 has qualifactaions in computer systems) 2 days to format this piece of sh*te!

Stavros

PC jokes, how cool

Seriously tho, at 20quid a month tax free i may as well go for the top pentium thingy

89xr2

You may as well mate, if you won't notice the money going every month then it's the best option. The system will be fine for what you want it for. Will be fine for all the current games etc as well. Can't really go wrong.

JohnnyB

Stavros, we has the same thing at our place.

all the ones which were bought are still working fine.


lettle pricey I feel

Stavros

Thats the main thing, at 20quid a month id not even notice that money
