I'm currently looking at the best way to get a new PC - build or buy retail? I was hooked on build but recently found what looks like a good retail offer - I'm a bit wary though.
The unit is a Celeron 2.6, 512 RAM (don't know speed or make), and a firewire capable motherboard also featuring built in video and sound. Don't know the make of the board either, and couldn't tell from looking at it.
The thing is, I don't whether that Celeron will be everything its numbers make it out to be, and I'm also wondering about that motherboard. The unit itself is an emachines piece - C2865 if I remeber rightly. Annoyingly, their website covers many models, but not that one.
So what's the story? Can anyone advise?
If I go back to my build, I may have to change my mobo. I was looking at the MSI K7N2 Delta-L, however, it turns out I may well need firewire - so then can anyone suggest a comparable board that is firewire capable?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
G.
