That, IIRC, will be an AM2+ processor. The new Phenoms are AM3 chips and are much, much better I think. I'd buy an equivalent Intel Core 2 Duo over that one myself. HTH.Public Service Posting by the BBC - Bloggs Bulls**t Corp.

not a bad bit of kit but the XP downgrade is crap though - because I wanted to repartition I couldn't use it. So after getting another (legit) copy, it seems to run ok - I've got XP Pro, XPe, Vista Ultimate, Windows 7 Beta, Suse & Ubuntu all running in it
I like Acer boxes - I already have one as my main office PC as well.Last edited by FarmerPalmer; 13 March 2009, 21:06.Comment
