Also, what upgrading do you think he might want to do that couldn't be achieved with a Dell box? Last edited by schmunk; 30-01-2008 at 04:16 PM.. |

Re: fastest core 2 duo processor
The E6850 Is the fastest of the core2 duo range at the minute, with a 3Ghz clock, and sells for around the £170 Mark.
You could also have a look at the new extreme x6800, which unfortunately retail at just over £600, and runs at 2.93Ghz. |
