Upgrades
This wasn't the exact one I bought which I think had more memory (2gb) and ati express graphics but can't remember the details. Will try to dig them out.
But the friend does lots of graphical presentations and video work and is really pleased with the performance.

He ached all over. It wasn't just that his brain was writing cheques that his body couldn't cash. It had gone beyond that. Now his feet were borrowing money that his legs hadn't got, and his back muscles were looking for loose change under the sofa cushions.

Found it Here
There is a tower version which is a little cheaper too, but I assume it's out of stock too as it doesn't appear under the search any more. Was £30 cheaper and also had the £75 cash-back and free shipping.
Edit ;-
Think it was the same as THIS but without the screen. Price was £457.07 inc vat with £75 cash back from HP

Like I said - graphically challenged - o.k. for multimedia presentations I guess but no way it could handle modern games - after all it's an integrated video chipset on the motherboard after all - could be upgraded but that would destroy the price.........

Unfortunately all the comparisons that I've seen say that the Intel is quite a bit ahead
Don't know if it backs this up or not but see here :-

....but then again you need to factor in value/price-performance as well......

I should be able to test the performance this weekend. Someone has given me their machine to fix and it is pretty much the same spec as I'll be going for. Once I finish removing all the spyware, trojans and viruses that is This machine is riddled with badness, it wouldn't even boot when it was given to me. One person who looked at it sucked air through their teeth and said "new HDD required" pfffft shows what you know. So far I've cleared a rootkit that kept giving a BSOD, a few hundred spy/malware and after only 5 minutes of virus scan 80 viruses found. Little wonder the poor thing didn't work.
