Don't worry, I'm not going to post a series of 'what about this one?' posts, but what about this one (!) from my localish pc shop :- 'Max Series Custom Built System - Intel 775 From £195.27 (£229.45 Inc.)' Presumably the 'Inc' means including VAT. Maybe however I should buy more RAM than the standar...

Thankyou all again. Bit of a minefield isn't it if you're not someone who has the knowledge or confidence to construct a pc system yourself from scratch. It sounds anyway like I should stick with a CRT monitor; it happens I can probably get one or two unused ones from other people, so will probably ...

Thanks for your further replies, including the idea of going to Tesco for a new system (or indeed Adsa, etc). Would such a store sell 'rubbish' though with cheap budget components, or comparable quality to a 'Reputable PC Shop' but maybe just cheaper? As for the monitor, yes, I can barely pick up my...

I appreciate any opinion here may be subjective, but I find it daunting looking through what seems to be thousands of different models / specs etc. My budget ? hmm I could probably justify ...

Upgrade pc V buy a whole new one ?
Hello any pc experts, How do you decide when to stop attempting to upgrade the components inside your pc case, and buy a whole new pc ? My 'needs' for a computer are not specialist; my aims are to be able to handle most modern software, graphics and websites without the pc significantly slowing down...

In case anyone's loosely interested in my memory saga (bear in mind that fiddling inside the pc case is pretty much virgin territory for me)... My other pc (AMD Duron with Jetway motherboard and SiS hardware) with the failing hard drive has a 256MB RAM module in it, so I decided to try putting the '...

By the way, I don't know the differences, but when my pc boots I can see a quick display that says 'System RAM PC133' whereas the Everest program says PC100. Here is some further detail from Everest's Motherboard analysis section : Memory Bus Properties Bus Type SDR SDRAM Bus Width 64-bit Real Clock...

The kind of thing I'd ideally like to find would be s...
