I am going to buy a new pc I want a high spec one I was thinking of this one.

But I don’t know about the Pentium 4 D?
What do you think?
I need an awnser fast im running out of time. 
Thanks!
Similar to my machine (paid £525 for mine in a local PC shop). I’m quite enjoying my Pentium D.
That’s £585 altogether though. I don’t know if I would pay that much.
If I were you I’d shop around for something cheaper, but that’s my only beef, the rig itself is certainly OK by my standards.
Edit: just noticed the 2 gigs of RAM - in that case, not a bad price 
I wouldn’t go for Pentium D now since it is obsolete
Why don’t you try Core Duo instead it is faster it is a better multitasker and it is cooler
I had a quick look at scan.co.uk and came up with this setup.
It’s a bit more expensive but its well worth it.
You get a much faster CPU, better motherboard (Intel chipset instead of VIA), larger HDD and faster, faster video card, much better and quieter PSU (and Case), no floppy and less RAM although its most likey faster than what Arbico offers (its not specified at all).
…and as other said, dont buy Pentium D… its old and slow.
I can dig up some benchmarks if you want to see the difference for CPU and Video card.

Wow…now that’s nice, Danne 
Yes can you please post some benchmarks thanks.
Ok I think this is good.
Intel Core 2 Duo 6400
2GB DDR2 RAM
Floppy Drive
Dual Layer DVD-RW
300GB SATA Hardrive.
Asus P5VD2-MX Motherboard
256MB NVIDIA 7900GS PCI-EXPRESS Graphics Card.
Silent PSU
Black Jupitor case or white not to sure.
1 Year warranty.
£660.
Any thoughts?
well the price it is very good, but u have to know the exact type of ram
IF it is 6400 ddr2 (800 mhz) this is a bargain
My system cost me twice as this one and i don’t think it is twice as good
I bought a similar machine from PC World (they have a sale on) for £499 Pentium Dual Core and it is great also got a 19" Flatscreen Monitor thrown in and we bought a 3-in-1 printer/copier/scanner for £24.99 too. We use mostly for Internet, Games and DVD/CD Burning and speed is great.
The RAM is 533 MHZ. PC4200.
Yes but this one is a Intel Core 2 Duo 40% faster than version 1.
Fair enough but I suppose it depends what you want it for really, ours is spot on and I couldn’t recommend it enough.
Well this was the ad for it anyway;-

This is true, mine may be the older version, but it’s a damn sight better than the one that recently died on me (1.4gig P4 Willamette) 
…heaviest thing I do is maybe a bit of Photoshop and backing up DVDs!
@ashmo - that last one you posted, looks like a nice rig - black case of course
Warranty doesn’t bother me, I always void mine just after I get the thing
Thanks thats the one im going for.
