    Oh, a fellow Briton. Where do you get your computer equipment? Dell is a bit overpriced I think; I was considering gaming PCs like Alienware and stuff. What do you recommend?

    Not sure what you mean. If its the amount of memory equipped with stock models, Just look up reviews at http://www.tomshardware.com/site/vgacharts/index.html or other hardware sites.
    Thanks, I'll have a look at it.

And I willg et the site link later Cebei ocne I have found the info.
