I think I started a thread on this topic ages ago (probably 2003), but I still haven't got my own PC, so I'll try again:
I want to buy a computer, but don't have a huge budget. I mainly need it for the usual stuff like the net, photo scanning and editing, plus DVD burning. I'm not a big player of games, but I would like to play the odd one. I mainly play sports games (soccer, cricket, golf, gridiron etc).
So, what specs would I need for this? I often have quite a few things open at the same time, and it shits me when computers run slowly when I'm doing it. If I could get an idea of what I need it'd make looking through ads easier...
Also, I read a while back that that Prescott thingo kicks a bit of arse. Can someone remind me why?
