thx for the reply,
I know computer fairs are a lot cheaper but i thought it is easier to buy from a reputable company.
All i want the pc for is so i can play the latest games with ease ?
I have been told thou that a AMD 64 is better than a p4 of equivalent spec is this true ? for less money
i have a AMD 2.0 ghz pc downstairs which i want to upgrade and a Intel Celeron 2.8 ghz upstairs with 512 ddr in both.
The celeron plays half life 2 and counter strike source no problem but takes ages to load up.
