    Crazy price for a machine with a Intel Pentium 2020M processor first released in Q1 2013

    This would be a far beetter machine. http://www.elara.ie/productdetail.aspx?productcode=ECE3171376

    I'm not sure what type of games your children are interested in but for your needs on running office, you could pick up a pc with a pentium chip for less than €300. The likes of did and currys are a lot more expensive than elara, komplett and dabs.

    Thank you very much for the replies, the games the kids are playing are basic, the reason I mentioned it is I would hope to keep the desktop for a good few years and I want something they will be able to grow into also, no doubt the next computer I get it is they who will be picking!!!
