Duties are not performed for duty's sake, but because their neglect would make the man uncomfortable. A man performs but one duty - the duty of contenting his spirit, the duty of making himself agreeable to himself.

I tend to download between 50-100Gb a month, so burning cds just wasnt cost effective or quick,

Packard Bell is just basically the Remnants of the company. They shut down in north america and canada and ended all web support a couple years ago. It's only active in venezuela or somewhere in south america, and in europe.

I liv in Europ M8 so me think ther will be suport for it..


Thanks For the INfo

Its A standard pc from a store but i can change anything of it if i would like to for exampel it has standard 160 gb HD i can chnage that to 180 gb HD but then must pay more

BTW the HD merk is maxtor and another thing i cant build a pc but i think this is easier

[Mad old tory]

Seen as the manufacturers buy their components in bulk it wont b cheaper to build the system urself bit by bit. The advantage of selfbuild is that u can choose exactly wot components u have in ur pc so u dnt end up with any generic crap tht will screw evrything up like the ram in my old pc did

you need to be careful what media you use for it.

it may not work well with the dvd writer your getting. Like 2 speed media may only be burnt at one speed, even though you have a 2 speed writer. Things like that.

dvd-r&#39;s are cheaper than the + ones, and more compatible, so if you do decide to get it (the PC), you might be best trying these than the +dvds.

yeh, the 9500 would be a better choice than 9200, if you need a cutting edge 3D card. 9200 is more comparable to Geforce 3 than to Geforce 4.

If u&#39;ve got the money go for the radeon 9500pro. It got a lot of computer magazines top ratings and I would have got it if practically every retailer in England hadn&#39;t sold out for like a month. It&#39;s quite a lot better than the 4200
