now befor u say out i only rly want it for playing basic games like mir2/3 linage and wow none of new vista 1s rly

150 gig hdd
Amd Athlon(tm) XP 2400+
2.00GHz
1gig ram

windows xp
service Pack2 orginal

navida 6200a 256 ddr

with a 17 inc screen

for 260

good or not ??????

would like to see what some ppl come up with for asystem got about 600 tops tbh

ile be honest for that system 260 quid is rather steep as XP2400 athlon chips are quite old now, if it was a XP2800 or XP3200 barton core athlon my opinion would be different as there awsome cpu's

upgrades would be expensive as its a XP chip its a socket A motherboard which means you cant buy the cpu's from mainstreem retailers and there expensive to buy from ebay etc

will have an agp graphics card so again expensive and no so great upgrades as most stuff is pcie now

if i were you just buy a new system like this:
http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/specpage.html?PC-1102

260 odd with the os installed

brandnew 19inch tft for like 130 - 150 odd

that would give a pretty good system but if you wanted a better pc there are alot more options out there

my honest opinion its not worth anywhere near £260.00 more like £100 - £150.00 max.

system comparisons:

your one
150 gig hdd
Amd Athlon(tm) XP 2400+
2.00GHz
1gig ram (ram upgrades for 1gig its 30 - 40 quid)
windows xp
service Pack2 orginal
navida 6200a 256 ddr
monitor
£260.00

new system ive pointed out
AMD Athlon X2 4200 Dual Core 64 Bit
1GB DDR2 667MHz Single Channel (ram upgrade for 1gig 15 quid)
160GB SATA II hdd
NVIDIA 6100S PCI Express
vista home basic
£269.07 inc vat

massive differences in performance, upgrades etc but monitor at an extra cost

 

[PureKill]

what would say a

a gd dual core processer
at least 1 gig ddr2
150 gig hdd
and a 8800 gt gfx card ?????
with any thing else thats needed?

 

[koni]

up the ram abit to more like 2 or 3 gig as ram upgrades are so cheap now like 15 - 20 quid per gig and you would see great performance with the extra ram

8800gt cards are wicked cards

so yes that system would be fine, but i would recomend you get more ram

 

[PureKill]

are dule cards worth it was speaking to my m8 at work and he says u dint rly get the worth from having 2 u would think u do

You can easily get a high end dual core or AMD Phenom (Quad) , theyre quite cheap, along with about 4GB Ram and an 8800 GT/GTS along with all the rest of the stuff you need.

With his original price being £260, i doubt he's willing to pay for all of that. Yes, he can easily get it, but its not what he's after.

All he needs is a medium spec pc to play wow at full settings.

He said he would like to see what people can come up with 600 tops...

260 is for the buld he came up with on the first post.
