You think that's cheap? If you know how to build a PC, you'd know how cheap it can get. 2 years ago I got an AMD Athlon X2 4800+ (2.5GHz), an AM2 board that supported 16GB RAM, (I bought 2 gig), a wifi card. the case with massive fans, a wifi card, 250GB SATA HD, an nvidia 8500GT (they were ok at the time)... all for, have a guess...


£230.

This year I'll have a slightly bigger budget and will be vouching for 3 or 4 cores. :D Not that they're more expensive now than 2 cores were then. About £50-80. No, seriously, look! http://www.ebuyer.com/product/176043
Yes I know how to build PCs, but this is a LAPTOP not a DESKTOP!
