1153243 2010-11-16 22:20:00 Why would you buy from ascent over computer lounge? Ascent are so expensive... Not always:


Simple example:

Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium, for 64-bit systems, OEM


Ascent = $174.13

Computer Lounge = $179.00 (online price)


Different shops have different prices for various items.

I'm just trying to get a prudent estimation. Because there are people like me, who don't particularly embrace the idea of online shopping; in which case, buying locally from a shop would be dearer.

Buying from your local store may be a bit dearer, but generally the backup service is better as well.

When things go wrong, ( and they do) some of the online places dont want to know you.

1153246 2010-11-17 09:32:00 The cheapest RAM usually has a lower specification, but any of these proposals described would be fine. You might be better off with a power supply that has the 24pin power connector too, if you older machine is 20 pin. PENTIUM (426)
1153247 2010-11-21 03:03:00 Agreed. I'd choose it too, if Ascent didn't sell it so expensively.

Just out of interest, chuanwai, what's your graphics card?

Atm using a 5770

This pc is primarily for gaming, i currently have dd3 ram that im using for this mb, so i probably wouldnt need ram.
