p.s. not sure if i need an IDE cable or thing anythin like that, that long sicne i built a PC can't remember what comes with and what doesn't... lol. and should i buy vista or go with a 64bit version of XP (for there are some compatability problemns with a few games and vista), and if vista spend abit extra and go for ultimate or stick with premium...

btw, sry about the grammer and spelling, abit pissed that i had to type it out again.

Re: Views on specs for new PC

I would suggest faster memory and to stay away from vista. May I suggest checking prices on pricewatch.com, or looking at jlxperts.com.

The idea behind him showing UK links/prices is because that's where he comes from and this isn't the 1st that you've replied by suggesting USA sites to overseas people so please stop as they are useless suggestions to make.
