"Anyone get any decent PC bits for Xmas ??"

Did you get socks or a new processor ?
I got a Liteon 48x12x48 CD Burner from the wifey, knew I married here for a reason !

Yeah I don't have one yet (otherwise I'd have said "my AGP AMD Shuttle). As for stockists, there are loads in the UK.

I will eventually get a Shuttle, after a Prometia though,

It will work, but only with everything set to the lowest.

Also, I have a bit of a rubbish DVD drive, which might have something to do with it. I'll nick one from the other PC when I get a DVD writer for it in january :-)

Cool. Do you have a Shuttle now? I'm jealous. Who stocks them here? God, this is exciting.

I'd always rather build my own as you can re-use parts, eg my CD-RW, case&baybus, PSU, heatsink etc. As I upgrade this the old parts will eventually migrate into an AGP AMD Shuttle.

Can't be bothered to upgrade to be frank would rather get a top range pc that is powerful and doesnt need upgrading so quickly.

Hold on till a bit later next year i see a price drop then....

Hitman 2 doesnt work on that????
It works on my 1ghz, 512mb RAM, Geforce 2 GTS (overclocked slightly) vsync off, SB 128D (does the job) fine at 1024x768 and still looks sweet.

£250 you know. Is that an MX card? Nasty.
