Never buy a PC, build your own. Tony Madge will back that up!
Spoken like a gentleman..
I think that if I dare buy a pre-bulit PC again it will be built by CB
Reason 1 for not buying a pre built PC= you get substandard bits from substandard manufacturers, although Dell seem to be the best of the bunch :think:
Reason 2 for not buying a pre built PC= you end up with Vista.. and thats a no no no no as far as I am concerned, when MS went from 98/millenium to XP its was a progression.. vista is a new ball game with too many pretty things slowing everything to a cripple, bit like FS9 to FSX really :@
AMD Phenom II X4 BE 965 @ 3.80GHz
nVidia GTX 560 TI 448 Cores
Just got me a new custom build PC, with Intel 2-core quad CPU, 2 Gb of Kingston DDR3 RAM, Creative X-Fi Fatal1ty Platinum Champion soundboard and a PCI Express nVidia 8800GT Super+ with 1024 Mb DDR3.
Don't want no Vista, have XP SP2 installed. All sliders to the right, My FSX gets FPS between 25 and 50!, FS9 with NL2000 v3 installed and all sliders of NL2000 and FS9 to the max gives me between 35 and 75!
It's fun again to sim!!!!
Agree with you Tony, I used to buy Dell and they were (to my mind) very reliable but........Try upgrading a Dell!!
No way will I ever go for a factory made machine as options for upgrades can be very limited. As for Vista....I will keep going with XP for as long as it is supported by Microsoft and even then may be for a bit longer!!

I used to be an optimist but with age I am now a grumpy old pessimist.
