Definitely Windows 7, 64 bit. By the way, are you sure it's Dual core, or quad core? Is the RAM DDR3?

Any good?

Depends on what you want to do with it doesn't it?

For example, my PC, works very smoothly, I can run Call of Duty 4, Modern Warfare on it very well,
yet my PC, has nowhere near the amount of RAM or video memory, that PC has!

The price sounds okay to me, as the last time I bought a PC, you just didn't get that amount of spec for that sort of price.

I can understand the need to have a PC with ninja specs, if you want to run some of the latest games on it,
but if you were not going to run any games, or any other exceptionally demanding graphics applications,
then a PC like that would probably be fine. I would like to have it!

Also, I would use XP, as with Windows 7 being so new and all, it could take a while to get rid of whatever bugs it may have in its early days of release.

Windows XP may not be as new, but it works very well, if you know how to keep it optimzed, and it can also look very cool as well,
depending on what theme you may use for it!

I would not follow this advice. Windows 7 has been ready for months. ( as stated by microsoft ) Im a windows 7 user for a few months now and i can tell you i have not had one problem with it yet. To me its a working version of vista.

Im dual boot win7/vista and vista i have problems all the time. So i recommend getting windows 7.

Yea its not too bad. Loads of ram which is largely useless but still not a bad pc.
Despite the desire of members here to push you to 7 i would say not too.
Stay with xp for another 6 months or so and enjoy all it has to offer. Then go up to 7 and deal with it. Smile
But yea perhaps a bit pricey but still a good pc mate.

You didnt say why to stay with xp for 6months lol? Theres no need to! Windows 7 is so lighter on ram the vista. I say move away from xp, its time to die has past Tongue

7 is lighter on ram than vista i agree. But then again so is 3 versions of xp runnin at once lol.
I say 6 months for several reasons.
1) 3rd party support.... No brainer i thought.
2) Windows support..... Was due to stop already but im not sure.
3) Security. Hackers will be targeting the new system and its new firewall IMHO.

Beyond that XP just works mate. Damn i was using Windows 7 9 months ago and got told by a wise man "go back to XP man its just a better choice".
I wonder if the wise man i will back me on this one? Smile Smile
