CWBolton PC discussion

Circuit City doesn't exist here Ebuyer have an offer on a certain stick of RAM right now.. OCZ DDR2-800 1Gb in their value range for ?30, but that's a bit too much in terms of speed and I can't Garuntee they'll work until I know more about the PC (RAM speed etc.)

A base GeForce 8 series can cost as little as ?32 but it won't compare to the one that already comes with it in terms of games performance, but it'll be better for any processor intensive applications (perhaps you get into movie editing) ?55 is probably the minimum I'd recommend, it's not a necessity and the stock one should be good, unless it's onboard then it'll be lame lol..but you can get an Asus 8400GS for ?33 which'll be able to share the load with the processor when processing data such as video and images or an 8500GT which'll cost about ?55 and also provide low>midrange graphics while the 8600 series which will cost ?80-?130 will provide good mid-range performance.
These cards are worse than current generation/last generation cards like the GeForce 7 series but are more future proof and take load off CPU's when it comes to any sort of processing.
