2gb will be fine no point getting anymore. Put that money towards a bigger HD or something

Dual core FM runs fast as owt. Not tried quad and yeah it might run faster but its not like dual core is slow

Ok thanks. Really have no idea about graphics cards, how much difference is the following two? Doubt I'll need it for games, as I said probably PES but thats about it. Is it worth an extra £76?

DUAL SLI 256MB nVidia™ GeForce 8600GTS
SINGLE 768MB nVidia® GeForce® 8800 GTX (add £76.38)

Looking at this Dimension 9200 at the moment

No price difference between the two processors available, except one is Viiv. Anyone know what difference there is between the two?

You can save £67.50 if you would rather have a 19" monitor over a 22" one.

No 22" Wide Monitor [Included in Price]

Dell™ 22" Black Wide Flat Panel (E228WFP) - UK/Irish [add £123.38 or £3/month1]

Dell™ 24" UltraSharp™ Wide Digital/Analogue Flat Panel (2407FPW) - UK/Irish [add £493.50 or £13/month1]

They are the monitor options it has. Not sure why it says 'No 22" Wide Monitor", instead of 'No Monitor"?

Have a good monitor at the moment don't really need a new one.

There are ways to get more PC specs on the Dell site than the ones they clearly display.

From what I can see, it is £37 cheaper than the one you linked to without a monitor, even with an upgrade to the same hard drive, and the same graphics card (which, oddly, is a free upgrade).

How do you do that? Seen your link but what do you have to do to get the extra options?

[retired_shean]

On the main Dell Desktops page http://www1.euro.dell.com/content/products/category.asp...s1&l=en&s=dhs&~ck=mn just select under the heading "Product Family", click Dimension, then customize and buy, and you get 4 to choose from, instead of the 1 on the main page.

Thanks. You decided what you're getting yet?

[retired_shean]

I had, but then dell changed their offers, which effectively put all their prices up on thursday (for example, that £759 quad-core was £699 before), so i'm trying to wait until next thursday before ordering, in hope they drop them again... however, it is getting to the point where I can't really wait much longer.
