It also a lovely looking tower as well with blue lights on the front that stay on. So less than £50 and you see a much bigger difference in the performance. Whereas you could probably pick one of these up for about half the price of the cheap ones in shops and the good thing is that upgrading this computer is really cheap indeed, the 512mb ram card only cost me £15 and a new graphics card would cost about £25 - £30. So a little advice for people looking for a cheap computer - don't buy one with a small amd processor at pc world or comet for example, it would just be a waste of your time. Since I have owned this pc, I have upgraded the ram to 1024mb (1gb) and it really is quite fast for a computer of its age, for example, my friend purchased a compaq presario from pc world around a year ago, about the same time i had mine and it had the same amount of ram as mine except that it had an amd Sempron processor about 1.8ghz and it was really slow compared to mine. The specifications are as follows: Intel Pentium 4 Processor 2.66Ghz (which is pretty nifty for an older processor), 512mb of RAM, 60gb hard drive, Nvidia Geforce 4200 64mb (not really enough for todays gaming standards) and Windows xp home edition service pack 2.
The previous owner was a good friend of mine who had owned it since it was purchased from pc world. I have owned this computer for just over a year now and i'm really satisfied with it.
