Will it even startup with 512mb RAM and Vista Premium?
Before I closed it down, the Vista Sidebar alone was using 1.5GB RAM on my Dell machine (and this was with no actual gadgets/widgets/whatever-they-are-called running it, just an empty sidebar).

ct5amr2ig1nfhp · 17-05-2007 12:49PM

Its Vista Basic at that price.

That couldn't be right. That means that everyone using Vista would need about 5gb of ram to run it and a few apps

Go through epp and reduce the warrenty to 1 year collect and return and you can get it for

SoundWave · 17-05-2007 03:08PM

do you not have to be a registered business customer to get an the employee discount... is there not a company EPP code that you need as well as the evalue code?

Just stick in Allied Irish Banks. Worked fine for me when ordering both mine and my Dads earlier this year.

unklerosco · 17-05-2007 03:38PM

unklerosco · 17-05-2007 03:51PM

U cant add it to the basket tho without the mouse...

wba88 · 17-05-2007 05:23PM

looks like a gr8 offer, wish i had the money

chump · 17-05-2007 05:25PM

would the mobo accept pci-express gfx card. I know it's an upgrade option to get the 256MB ATI® Radeon® X1300 Pro PCI Express graphics card - but if you didnt get it, would the same motherboard be provided?

TerrorFirmer · 17-05-2007 05:26PM

Yes.

Bugger. Missed that.
Also dont forget to order through Pigsback, if you're not gonna try the EPP. Get a free €12 cdwow voucher out of it anyway.

podgeandrodge · 17-05-2007 07:30PM

actually you cant remove the mouse as far as I can tell - it forces you at the end to fix the compatability issue?

unklerosco · 17-05-2007 08:33PM

Using firefox on the mac it popped up n said fix compatability issue, I hit cancel n it went into my basket @ €368...

Upgraded to Vista prem as basic is a bit of a waste...

chump · 17-05-2007 08:52PM

Idea would be to wipe Vista and install my copy of xp pro.
Get a pci wireless card.
And then depending on mood get a tv tuner and decent pci-x grafix.
Oh and the no mouse thing simply didn't work at all for me when trying to purchase it, so i decided to get the nice wireless set - good reviews and realistically I need a wireless set

On reflection could prob have left out speakers and got my own, but overall looks good.

kaisersose77 · 17-05-2007 09:27PM

home premium is worth the extra 30 euros or so! especially if you intend to use it for movies etc

unklerosco · 17-05-2007 09:32PM

I intend to use it as a htpc... will prob sell the monitor. €30 for prem was worth it if only for Media center...

Amigaman · 17-05-2007 09:54PM

Uncle

You can't remove the mouse without selecting the wireless keyboard/mouse bundle. Your order will go through but will be put on hold until a rep phones you to rectify the problem. Some searching questions may be asked during the phone call about you EEP status.:D

Edit: Tried to order 5 just now and they won't add to basket. Also tried it with 1, same problem.

ct5amr2ig1nfhp · 18-05-2007 12:02AM

Just tried myself, and won't add to my basket either.

Seriously sweet deal you got there, considering the 22" is worth more then half the cost easily.

GBX · 18-05-2007 12:25AM

so whats the deal with EPP? is it for trade/business or can anybody buy?
