[QUOTE]Originally posted by PsyLiam: [QB] " i couldn't even imagine buying a motherboard for 500 pounds." Neither could I. That's why I'm wondering what akb is smoking. At worst, computer hardware comes out as �1 = $1, but in his case, �1 is equalling about 5 million pounds. "from one of the companies I'm looking at - Thunderbird 1400Mhz CPU = �139.83 & P4 2000Mhz = �410.08!!!!" If you got a slightly slower P4, you'd save a lot. Never get the cutting edge, you pay a premium for it. Get two steps behind. Still, based on those prices, I'd say it's fairly obvious which one to get, before we even get to the sticky point of P4s needing expensive RAMBUS memory (at the moment). "I don't trust mail order and so am limited to local businesses as PC World will want to sell me a whole system at a VERY HIGH PRICE. I shall be shopping around though to make sure I get what I want for as little money." Not to criticise, but being paranoid of mail order companies is the same as older people being paranoid of ordering over the phone. It's cheeper, and you save a hell of a lot. As long as you order from a reputable company, you'll be fine. Dabs has been running for years. It's not going to give up it's thousands and thousands of pounds profit just to con you out of a motherboard. [/QB][/QUOTE]
