I'd say no, but things tend to be more in the UK even after conversions anyways, so I guess it could be ok.

I will get my rig after I get a car. Right now I'm on my Dads and it sucks. Well it's decent for programs that don't require any graphics.

Ah, 64-bit. Is it worth using yet? I hear still that there are a lot of problems with the XP version, let alone the Vista version.

I'll do my laptop. My PC listed above is titled BENDER.
*Fry*
HP Pavillion Dv9500 Laptop
17 Inch LCD Widescreen
Intel Core 2 Duo T5250 1.5 GHZ
3062 MB DDR2 RAM
Mobile Intel Express 965 358 MB Graphics
Realtek HD Audio
140 GB Harddrive + MyBook Premium 500 GB External Firewire

That's about it. And Dan, how many limbs did you have to chop of to pay for the DDR3? *drool*

LOL, I've seen a lot worse. That's like the used-car of PC's. It's been around the block a few times and someone stole the stereo.

I haven't had any issues yet, and it's worth it simply to support the 6GB of RAM.

I don't have DDR3 yet, although I plan to build a Core i7 machine with an Intel X58 motherboard and crossfire/SLI, and that one will most certainly have DDR3. Just as soon as I sell my soul to pay for it all...

Yeah, no kidding eh. 2 GB's of DDR3 goes for about 200 to 600, depending on a lot of things. Still crazy.
