That sounds better than what you have shown before.

I guess it depends on what you want it for.

Do you play games ? Do you run millions of calcualtions (for horse racing of course) or do you just need it to browse the web ?

It should be good enough and for the price you can't complain.

Mind if i ask where from, i see you have listed it as a quad core but i was sure that model was a dual core.

As mentioned you are not buying a gaming system but that one will suit your needs.

Shaun, it came in today with DEALS DIRECT, but a bit confusing as it says $599,

then further down it says $499 so haven't quite figured that one out yet.

UB. As you will have realised I'm NOT a computer buff, definitely don't play games well, not the ones you are talking about Hee Hee! same with movies ! ................(humph)...

So yes mainly number crunching etc

Yes the i3 2120 is a dual core. Is the i5 an option?

Hi guys, I've got no idea what you are talking about there, I just copied and pasted the specs. from Deals, so should I take it that I am being misled?
