    gfx card is poor for gaming.

    All items on these are completely configurable , so you can change anything , but the prices here dont include an operating system or a monitor , on the site they only do XP pro so its 139 euro , and the cheapest 19 inch monitor they have is 279 euro , so add 418 euro to all the prices above ,

    In reality they are not that cheap !! They look quite good , you can select quality components for your build and specify just about all components , but they are far from cheap.

    if you have a monitor, keyboard, mouse and a copy of XP its grand to buy and v.reasonable compared to the price you'd get elsewhere
    and since when is a 256MB PCI-e bad for gaming?

    but if you dont have a pc monitor , or operating system , ( and I forgot keyboard and mouse , speakers , etc , but lets not quibble !! ) and you need a PC then Dell will kit you out with the lot , plus printer , for 549 !!
    ( Im no fan of Dell , but we are talking price here , not quality ! )

    Which is really my point , the site is not cheap , you can do better , Komplett for one will beat them hands down , for the same components , they supply built units too !

    Example , a 7800 GTX 256 MB card is 418 from Komplett , its 470 on this site , and most other components follow suit .

    if you arent interested you can choose to ignore it if you wish... it's decent for computers if you already have the other bits and bobs to go with them

    Since the dawn of graphics cards when they can get people like you who don't know anything about gfx cards to fall for the big numbers :D;)

    The 6200 is crap for gaming, even if it had 512mb of Ram. The Ram isn't actually important. Any decent 128mb card would out perform it easily.
