Hi guys, can i get your views on this laptop: Acer 5740 Laptops - 15.6" Home Computing laptop - Review Acer 5740 Laptops at Dixons.co.uk £480 The laptop is for my bro and will be used for word-processing, web browsing, watching & burning dvds and playing a few games such as age of empires. (Not sure how the graphics will fare for the latest games) Also can new graphics cards be installed in laptops? And does the amount of RAM in anyway influence the graphics capability of laptop? Thanks

Hi, btw i am lookin for intel i7 or i5 pc's (pre-built) because from the net surfin i done i gather these are better than the phenoms although i may be wrong :) Cheers

hi i'm 'david_clint' and would like to say hello all :) (have already posted earlier today but had to run off to help my cousins with her computer, the irony :D)

looking at these PCs, what do you guys think? Major difference between first and other two is 2GB less RAM although 6GB should be more than enough right? First one looks most appealing but Pavilion Elites are newer models methinks.
