Features
Dual core PCs are perfect for anyone who needs to use more than one application at a time in Windows as the dual cores work like having 2 CPUs in your computer. This system features the excellent Intel Pentium D 820 2.8GHz CPU which is a great entry level dual core CPU capable of handling all today's applications and games with ease, but as it is dual core, it will handle all tomorrow's as well!

A whopping 1GB of RAM memory is perfect for use with Microsoft Windows XP Home which is pre-installed as it allows you to use multiple programmes simultaneously with ease. The CPU and memory are hosted on the hard working Intel 945P chipset motherboard. This board delivers two PCI Express slots (a 16x and 1x slot), 3 x PCI slots, 4 x Serial ATA and 4 x Ultra DMA 100/66/33 connections that can be configured for RAID 0 or RAID 1.

An impressive and roomy 250GB SATA hard drive will satisfy everyone as it will be some time before you manage to fill this, even if you are storing music, movies and games on your system which can take up a lot of storage space. It uses the fast SATA 150 connections as opposed to the usual IDE hard drive connection which essentially means data can be transferred to and from your hard drive faster, which therefore speeds up your computing experience.

Excellent graphics are provided by the 256MB PCI-Express NVidia GeForce 7600GS GPU which delivers best-in class performance and features that will have you experiencing cinematic-quality effects and studio-quality colour on your gaming. Apart from blisteringly quick graphics a main benefit of dedicated graphics cards are the on-board memory, as it won't steal memory from your system which then harms your performance. The PCI Express standard means your graphics card can communicate with the rest of your computer faster than an AGP card can, which in turn means you get graphics displayed on your monitor much quicker which is essential for gaming.

This PC includes a superb DVDRW Double Layer Dual Drive. This DVD + RW/+R Rewriter enables you to store video, audio or date files on DVD's or CD's. With DVD speeds of 16x read and 16x write (Single Layer) and 8x write (Double Layer) 8x rewrite for DVD+RW/+R and 48x (read) 48x write CD-R and 24x (rewrite) CDRW, it means the creation of back up, video or audio disks has never been quicker.

There is plenty of peripheral expansion potential with this system as it has 6 USB 2.0 ports and the usual array of serial and I/O ports. Gigabit LAN is built in, plus, this PC comes with 7.1 surround sound available. This makes this system a great choice for value multimedia or gaming use.

A keyboard and mouse are included with this system and Microsoft XP Home is pre-installed for easy set up. *Please note that no monitor is supplied with this system.*
