With an 8800GTX instead of the standard graphics card and an extra DVD drive. Value for money or not?
And is it worth paying for 4gb of ram, as it seems that windows can only access about 3gb of it. Or is it worth sticking with 2gb and paying for faster memory? And has anyone used the Bullguard AV package before?

You could probably get something similar from Dell, by ringing them up, but you'd need to have the custom made PC details in front of you (Dell website) and also use the Mesh one to compare with/against.

I looked on Dells website, and a reasonably similar PC on there seemed about £300 more without a monitor. Is ringing them up going to make that much difference?

Morning all, I am trying to set up a static IP address but I am having some problems.
The instructions I found on the net tell me to open the command prompt and type ipconfig /all
I've got the command prompt no problem, but when i type in ipconfig /all I get an errror message;
'IPCONFIG' is not recognised as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
I am using XP and a BT Home Hub router, grateful for any ideas. I am about to go out but will be back in a few hours, so questions you asked will be unanswered until then.
Thanks
