Or add an extra $0 and get this: www.qmb.co.nz They're right about the comment of being able to take another HDD with your, and by todays standards, 10 gigs wont get you too far.. OS can be upto a gig, add one or two games, Office, a few more extra proggys and you've got yourself a full HDD! A bigger monitor is always a good investment, makes things easier on your eyes if its larger! Again, Pricespy.co.nz will direct you to a good place, at a bargain price! As for selling it, by todays standards, its not lightning fast, and for the amount of money you would get for it, if you're keen then it'd be better to upgrade it to more-so suit your needs. If you have integrated graphics, they arent the best for games, if you're ever gonna get into it. AGP cards are so cheap.. a little over $100 and youve got a 64MB GF card! HTH Chilling_Silence |

| 112053 | 2003-01-08 21:42:00 | If buying RAM don't forget that if your box is like mine (2 slots with 64mg each) then buying a 128mg stick will actually only increase the RAM by 64mg (ie from 128 to 192) Look to the future on this and possibly buy a 256Mg stick as this will allow an easier/cheaper upgrade to 516Mg later Also check the mobo manual (mine only allows a max of 516Mg total in the 2 slots - ie no point in splashing out on a 516Mg stick!)

Your video card does not determine how many pages you can go back and forwards while offline. Rather the cache of your browser does. But if your main purpose for the PC is for internet, then yes an integrated graphics card is fine |
