That is a respectable machine for being built last year. How much did it cost?

 

[jaksback]

once you upgrade your cpu you'll have a bomb machine

 

[compy]

yeah, once you get those upgrades your comp will be a monster. you better keep it in a cage!

It cost me around £2500 - I paid £1000 of that (I was only 17 at the time) and my Dad paid the other £1500

The processors are nice, but unfortunately almost all applications don't utilize multi-processors.

Yeah, but I can play UT2004, burn a DVD, download off the net, rip a few DVDs play music all at the same time and you can't - beat that!

 

[Pac0]

Yeah, but you have some slow-as-a-bee-hotch RAM.

Decent, RAM is the crutch though

Actually, since a crutch supports, the processor would be the crutch, whilst the RAM would be the broken leg.
