looks like a very nice spec for the money

**Livy** · 12-17-2003, 01:39 AM

it is quite a budget upgrade.

but it should be a big jump from current system.

amd k6-2 500
256mb ram
vodoo 3 2000

basic spec there.

but i use my laptop all the time coz the computers so crap.

it's quite the cliché, but you're getting a lot for the money there
you're ending up with a very good spec computer for not a lot of money (not that i have to tell you that

)
