Yea ive got a good idea just i know there will probably be some people who are well into computer stuff.

Will mainly be used for photo editing and design. And the usual internet browsing, word processing stuff too.

Default Rolling Road, Did It Improve Your Drivability Noticeably?

Missus golf gti mk 1.8t has been chipped has a panel filter and has an de-cat, it tends to judder when ur sitting in highish revs every now and then. and it will give a little backfire everynow and then 2.
i booked it into interpro for a rolling road to set it up, what do u think peeps sound like it needs setting up? and if so have any of u had it done? and did it improve the drive at all?? (i.e FUEL!, drive, smoothness, etc etc?)

Cheers

Even though you might not need it id expect a monitor thrown in for that price.
Have a look at this http://www.ebuyer.com/product/143130

similar spec but newer processor technology and cheaper.

Ok it only has 2GBs of ram but you can buy another 2GBs for 30-40 quid and install it in about 5mins, and it still works out alot cheaper

Ebuyer are fantastic by the way, bought stuff off them a few times now
