| 1141404 | 2010-10-04 01:08:00 | Because the PCWorld forums (i.e. PressF1) have always required you to log in to view attachments - and since they use different domains (pressf1.co.nz, forums.pcworld.co.nz etc) you're not necessarily signed in as far as the attachment viewing is concerned. | inphinity (7274) | ||

| 1141406 | 2010-10-04 02:14:00 | mmmm potentially spending just a smidgeon more to get a faster CPU may balance things out a bit better, but overall I'd say it's pretty good! :D Most people make the foolish mistake of spending $3-400 on an Intel quad-core 3Ghz+ and then spending around about the same on their GPU. Good to see somebody with their head screwed on relatively well for a change ;) Even just a few extra bucks to get the X2 255 instead might balance things up just a little better, or if you've got $35 more up your sleeve you could grab an X4 630? I'm not too up with the play in the AMD CPU realm though sorry ... |

| 1141407 | 2010-10-04 03:30:00 | Wish I could have done the same at your age, being a boarder though the school insisted that it was a laptop, no desktops in house. so I had to spend $1500, would have been much better spent on a desktop. Nice specs though. you'll have some fun with that |
