WJA96, both of these specs are very good, but I am unable to find the spec on the world wide web when conducting a search.

much appreciated, if you can help.

 

[KHALIK]

Yes it is.

I am still unable to find the spec mentioned earlier.

Good Spec Value for Money ?

Is this a good spec for around £380 using the latest Santa Rosa Chips.

I have no ideas regarding laptops. - If I wanted to upgrade to a dedicated 512 gfx card -- will it cost me a fortune?
