This looks to be right in your price range after the conversion, and looks like it should handle SL fine. I haven't checked the integrated graphics to see if SL has any problems with it, but NVidia is usually safe, I believe.

And I'm not sure about if they do deliver to UK, but they should, they use FedEX, which goes worldwide. I can't say positively though.

And for payment types:

That motherboard is Socket A, so it does work with the aforementioned CPU, if you decide to go that route.

And I believe removing/changing the OS does void most warranties.

Guess i'll have too leave on the Vista operating system lol. I'm talking too a live representative on Newegg i'll see if they do deliver too UK. Thank you for all your help. It is much appriciated.

Ok asked, they don't deliver too the UK, i'll have too look elsewhere.

Try INXS.com (Think that's the name). If I remember right, they're in the UK or something..maybe just Canada..bah..but that's where I got my CPU since Newegg ran out immediately on launch.

Also, I believe that computer you linked to was an E-Machine...those are available tons of places, so shouldn't be hard to find one that delivers to the UK

ETA:: OK..not INXS.com ...that's a band XD

If you want to stick with Windows XP: I've read that Microsoft is taking XP off the shelves in June of this year. (Embarassed by the fact that people prefer XP to Vista, they decided to take away the option of XP rather than improve Vista. Typical Microsoft.)

If you want to use an existing licensed copy of Windows XP that you own, keep in mind that Windows XP Home Edition does not support dual processors. You need Windows XP Professional for a dual processor machine.

If you have to stick with Vista, at least Vista has improved since it was first released, and a lot more things that didn't work with it at first finally work with it now. Just from causal form observation, it seems that Vista and SL work together well enough now.

I have an ATI graphics card (Radeon 1650). It runs SL fine. Though I wonder if another graphics card would be better. For a card that was supposedly a top-notch graphics card when I bought it new last year, I would expect to be able to run SL on better than the minimal graphics settings. But SL chokes if when I try getting better graphics out of it. Just based on things I've read in forums over the past year, I think my next graphics card will be an nVidia.

After 2 bad experiences with ATI graphics cards I now generally avoid them and rely on NVidia. I have had far too many compatability problems and driver issues with ATI cards and graphics intensive programs I use such as MMORPG's.

thats ok i have XP Professional and i've heard the same thing Dagmar, i prefer Nvidia too.

I'll have a look around and see what i can find.

Ok i've found one how good is the Nvidia 6100, would it work ok with SL?

I found this, is it any good?

Of those two go with the 2380, the graphics is nVidia, while the other is ATI. Not sure how the two graphics cards compare, but I know most people prefet nVidia over ATI for SL.

Thanks very much for all your help, i'll go with the 2380, i thought it would be the best too. Just thought i'd check first.
Thank's to everyone who replied

It also has a better version of (bleh) Vista, larger hard drive (Twice as large), and though I'm not sure, I believe the processor equates to a faster one.

Good luck, and all that.
