    Not yet.. still using the Laptop from the "Dawn of Man" that I crushed underfoot at the moment.. however my new PC is on order and SHOULD be with me on Saturday.

    In the end I went for the Acer Phenom from Ebuyer. It may not be the best machine out there. But necessity is the mother of compromise (Invention is actually necessity’s adopted child. )

    This is a stop gap. Normally I would spec the various components and build a PC to my exacting standards. but I have neither the time nor the patience (nor the space nor the money) to do this just now. I'll make do with this off the shelf one and replace some components as and when required.

    In the meantime I'm saving for the wedding / honeymoon. Once that's past then I'll be in a better situation to do my dream self-build again. I actually feel like a bit of a sell out.. this is the first off the shelf PC I've purchased in some 15 to 20 years I'm sure it'll be "adequate" for my needs in the meantime.

    Vista is actually a decent OS when it runs on a decent spec machine. Now hardware is coming out with Vista in mind, the difference between Vista and XP is clear.

    Would that be a single or duo core spec?
