We have 2 AAO's superb machines, pity they don't come with Linux any more as it knocks £50 off the price.

EGG,

Thanks , is that 1gb ?

If so is it enough ?

Can upgrade to 2GB from crucial for about £20. I did.

cheers EGG

1GB is the max microsoft allow XP to be sold with.

That's an excellent deal stevie.

Thanks Oval and Stevie

it is ,
but santa is waiting on the busy elves getting a bacs payment on the 30th.
hopefully its still there at that price then :)

ebuyer charge an extra tenner in postage to Norn Iron Stevie, its still a decent price.

cheers oval.
just noticed that , seems a bit pricey to here.
hows things with you ?

Alright mate,seem to do OK playing online but I haven't cashed in my live game in 8 weeks. I'm still up though over the course of the year but its annoying not getting near the final table.

There's a £60 + £60 freezout coming up soon if your interested?

NETBOOKS WERE HOT IN 2008 AND THE FIRST HALF OF 2009, BUT THE TREND WAS ACTUALLY MORE OF A FAD. LEARN WHY ITS OVER, AND WHY THATS A GOOD THING.

I'm using one now as a 2nd laptop, its now my main computer. Great portability and does everything I want. My only gripe is they come with windows installed instead of Linux. This adds £50 to the price and takes away some of the reasons for buying one.

I picked up my Acer Aspire One with Linux for £144. It wasn't that hard to install XP onto it. I recently bought my son one for his birthday, as I couldn't get a Linux version I had to stump up £230 for a similar machine to mine.

If you need portability and need an internet ready machine then its ideal.1GB is more than enough for XP, nothing runs slow including my poker sites.

If your a gamer or need power hungry program then forget about it.

wheres the game being played oval?
dont really play at all these days but might give a live game a go if im flush at that time.
maybe be in the town for a pint some saturday in the run upto xmas
