That's ----in sweet ... and I'm a little jealous .....

[JonnyH]

Cheers. I should sell it or something, I don't use it anymore for gaming, thats what I bought it to do.

Up untill twenty minutes ago this crappy thing only had a score of 2.0, it's incredibly ---- considering there are stickers on it saying "designed for Windows Vista", and I paid 450GBP for it only a few weeks ago ......

I want someone with a quad core processor to post ......

If you signup to orange broadband, you get a free one worth £400. Thats cheap :)

Yeah, but it's not worth it for orange broadband :P Orange broadband must be the most unreliable and slowest provider about at the moment, I would know, I was with Freeserve all those years ago, which was then Wannado and was then Orange, I saw the service going downhill as soon as orange took over, I moved to pipex, and I have not had a single problem since.

Yeah I know ( it was slightly more than that but I took the show one - now the mouse is broken and I regret it ), but considering the score was only 2 standard, I don't think they should be able to ship these laptops with vista on like that - I actually deleted it untill the day before yesterday when I knew I was upgrading ram, they should reserve the vista platform for machines that can do it justice, this only just wants to run the Aero desktop even .....
