AGP or PCI??

To be honest, I would put up with that system for 6 months, then you will have more to spend on a laptop for your travels.

If it can play DMMOM, I would have thought it will play oblivion on low?

EDIT: well, if you are going to be leaving it with your brother then maybe it would make sense to get a machine now. Probaby just go for a cheap core2duo rig with a reasonable GPU.

Intel Core 2 Duo E4300 "LGA775 Allendale" 1.80GHz (800FSB) - Retail
Abit IB9 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard
Sapphire ATI Radeon X1950 Pro 256MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail
Crucial 2GB (2x1GB) DDR2 PC2-5300C5 Dual Channel Kit (CT2KIT12864AA667)
FSP Sparkle Blue Storm 2 400W ATX2.0 PSU

Comes to £316. Add £40 for a 250GB HDD (if needed), and that would make an awesome budget gaming system, provided you don't plan on overclocking at all.

yeah femto is a number it will be probably be about 7 years before we get a femto board and guessing they will shave off about 15% of the size of a current pico

lol...and add 15% more on the price.

 

[saltynay]

no probably 50% more on the price but then we would be looking at a fully functional pc that is the size of a mini ipod

That is awesome. No need for a laptop. Just put it in your pocket, and connect to a display. Just for internet surfing.

thats why I want pico to make a mini pc that is a htpc you don't need a large hdd as you can make it network usable so a 1" 8gb hdd with the linux mce, usb wireless and 1 gb of ram and your set

anything else you need to know?

 

[b1gapl]

You'd need to upgrade the power supply as well.

 

[Sunulos]

Is there one you can recommend?

Look for brands like Antec, FSP (Fortron), HIPER, XClio, and Rosewill.
