[QUOTE="Lurch, post: 445843, member: 6967"] Have we ended up back in the early 90's? Nowhere near enough RAM, you want at least double that. HDD would be fine. Intel Pentium what exactly? Win10 - if you fancy learning how to use a computer again. Not a fan of 10 personally, stick with 7 if you can. Windows 10 will work, so if you really want to then it won't not work. Basically a Packard Bell desktop is not going to be great, it's for random consumers buying the brand. You could get a much better desktop by spending the same, or slightly more, somewhere else on a unbranded desktop. Last couple I have bought have been from Scan, or CCL. I tend to buy the business PC's, usually slightly better hardware and not as many unneeded frilly features, more value for money IMO. Not always a lot in it though. You're paying for the business support there with either of those. HP or Dell are good if you want to buy 100 PC's for a business, not so much for the odd one for home. [/QUOTE]
