Mothers PC has died - advice on pre-built system

Furton · 4 Jan 2013 at 21:10

Mothers PC has died today, think it's the motherboard and don't have time to re-build with a new motherboard (was an old Opteron 144 system).

Out of these two cheap system which is the best? Been out of the computer scene for a while now so could do with some help.

Primo 6100a" AMD A4-3300 2.50GHz

more ram and same price, speed about the same

and some good review, more for this than the other intel one, but that's about it tbh

normally here it's intel for everything, i just ordered a amd build and was very happy with it, got it installed today no bother for a friend

Cheers, didn't notice the difference in RAM. Does anyone know if either of them is quieter?

+1 for the AMD system, the IGP blows away the intel

No idea on noise levels unfortunately.

well if it's anything like this Primo 6300a" AMD A4-5300 3.40GHz DDR3 Dual Core APU System then you will hardly know its on

as that's what i just installed today, mate was very happy with it, net use, online games, word and emails.
but could do a lot more

Just got round to setting up the PC and it's only come with 4GB of RAM, not the 8GB advertised. Looking at the product description now and it says 4GB of RAM. Feel a bit cheated!

Cant you check what your order says?

unless you specifically asked for 8gb ram it will come with the 4gb as stated.

you can always add in more ram later on but 4gb is more than sufficient for day to day tasks, and even games
