Hi all,
I need a spec for a machine for my Dad, he has a 1.4 gig, 256mb RAM.
His main complaint unsurprisingly is that it's hella slow.
Ideally a desktop spec (the flat kind that sit on the desktop) not sure what they're called. But a midi tower would be fine if not.
He mostly uses it for accounting packages so a gig of ram would be the minimum.
No monitor needed, onboard sound is fine, dual layer dvd writer preference.
Other than that, he won't be using it for gaming so no hardcore graphics cards needed. Could go to £500 if it's a huge performance benefit, otherwise the cheaper the better really.
I'm fine for building it, just don't keep abreast of components so I'm appealing to all your greater collective knowledge.
Would really appreciate the help
Tristan
