My PC is in need of a bit of TLC and I was thinking of treating it to a secondary hard disc and some more RAM as it only has 700MB or so and a 60Gb hard drive.

Where are the best places to look on line for this stuff as I've been told to avoid PC World by a few people now?

 

jeez, 700MB RAM and 60GB drive, how old is it mate.

 

www.ebuyer.com
www.aria.com
www.scan.com

 

Guessing pentium 3?

 

you could try Overclockers www.ocuk.co.uk or Dabs www.dabs.com but thinking you might want to buy a new one mate.

Probably 5 years old I would guess. I upgraded it slightly from the 512MB RAM. To be honest I mostly use it for net surfing and photo storage with some light CAD work that I bring home.

 

It's an early P4

 

Ebuyer mate, good prices, great/fast delivery, never had a problem with them

Should find everything you need but double check its the correct ram for your motherboard etc

 

Yup, I've used ebuyer and dabs before, not had a problem with either

 

Cheers people, I know I need DDR PC3200 so I'm good on that front.

And a new PC would be great, unfortunately now I'm on my own and having to pay the mortgage and bills there isn't much spare cash for that sort of stuff so I have to make do with what I have. I can swallow £30 on RAM and £40 on a HDD, can't justify the £300+ required to replace the whole thing

 

try micro direct or have you trid maplin both of them are cheap

 

what ram is it mate? i have a load of ddr 400 here you could have

 

ebuyer for sho

 

EBUYER! do NOT use ocuk (overclockers) they have the worst customer service I have ever encountered. Whereas ebuyer, honestly, have the best!

 

I always use this place Computer Orbit but it's in Newcastle they have delivery service here's 1gb memory for £29.00 http://www.computerorbit.co.uk/itemc...UM~MEMORY.html

this is the hard drives IDE..as you didnt state it was IDE or SATA drive...IDE drives first http://www.computerorbit.co.uk/items...tle=components

sata drives http://www.computerorbit.co.uk/items...tle=components
those are the better drives as you can get 1.5TB..which massive storage
but most drives start from £30..
I've also used these in the past..http://www.misco.co.uk/..

 

random, as ive never heard anything else but excellent from overclockers and ive been using them for years

just found 2x 512mb sticks of pc3200 you pay the postage and you can have them
