    Around 375-400 seems to be the going price on adverts.

    Though if I were you i wouldn't run it OC'd, shortens the life of the 8600m dramatically.

    well it cost me €1,400 only its 2yrs old

    I never touched the graphic card or cpu the msi company did the overclocking not me

    Ah thats fair enough. I was thinking of upgrading the lot but its going to cost me at least 500-600E to go X6 with decent mobo & gpu. Don't really know if I need to. I do a bit of 3D CAD software/simulations and a bit of a gamer but nothing really serious. Might just get SSD & upgrade ram. That should make it a bit faster. Cheers for the help Dublin_Gunner. Appreciate it.


    Keep your board, nothing wrong with it, in fact, it's an excellent AM2+ board.

    If you want to save moneyt, but increase your rigs power a fiar bit, get a Phenom X6 1090T (Black Edition) for €177.95 and a decent card, even the new HD5850 'Extreme' edition for €109.90

    Thats less than €300 for a HUGE upgrade, and MUCH more of a difference than ram or SSD would make. IN fact, upgrading your ram will make sweet FA of a difference.

    All together, I suppose you'd get maybe €200 for the lot.

    What type of mac is it? DO you have the specs? If it will have to be replaced, you'd have to try source the same model, or get a similar performing new model.

    Either way, probably a lot.

    Is it an iMac? Mac pro? Macbook?

    You're way off the mark.

    AMD Phenom II X4 940 €70
    2 Gb DDR2 Ram €20
    Seagate 250Gb HDD €20
    Radeon 4870 1Gb €50
    NEC DVD RW DL Disk Drive €10
    Asus M4N78 SE Motherboard €40

    Total = €210 You won't get any more for those companents than that, unless you rip off some poor mug. Even at that, I've priced the CPU fairly high, not sure you'd even get that for it.

    Depending on its condition, you might still get around €7-800 for it. Its a fairly niche product though, so finding a buyer might be difficult

    I'd say around the same price as Tar's desktop. The extras on it really pulls it up (and assuming you're providing a legit XP copy ;) )
