Bought a new computer

[Roosteria]

I was in need off an new comp and had finally enough saved, paid a little visit to PC World and came back with an Packard Bell IMEDIA X2415 with an 20" screen for just under £700 including Office Student and Norton.

The specs are :
- Intel Core 2 Quad Processor Q6600 @ 2.40GHZ 2.40GHZ
- 32-Bit Windows Vista Premium SP1
- 3GB DDR2 RAM
- 500GB Hard drive
- nVida GeForce 7050 / nforce 610i (1407mb)

I've finished sorting everything out, just gotta get another Eternet cable to hook it up to my modem with and I should be done.

Thinking about it now, I do think I paid a little too much , especially for the software. Was it worth it or have I been ripped off?

Btw, Vista sucks.

I have the 2414. 320gb HDD.
They're pretty decent.

I paid £360 (Discount, no monitor) for mine.

[--ss--]

Seeing as I haven't opened the software yet (Still in their original packaging) will I be able to return it for a refund?
The speech about cracks and vista automatically checking he gave me did actually sound legit, would off thought Microsoft would actually create something like that for new software eitherway :rolleyes:

Well, I have ran Office 2007 Enterprise on a legit Vista for a long time with a bad key and its fine?

Funny thing is, we paid the county for an Office 2007 license, yet they gave us Office 2003 as 2007 "is still buggy" stupid *** holes, so technically its legit hehe

Well they are actually quite similar but they've changed all the small details and things which makes it extremely annoying, I see they've removed Power DVD player and replaced it with WMP >.<
It's actually quite good but it's still annoying.

PowerDVD came with mine, it's from a company called CyberLink that seem to put it on some computers. Plus WMP and WMC are lovely, you've just got too high a standards

Woo, I remember when your computer was to slow to run runescape and habbo at the same time :p.

PowerDVD only came on OEM computers, such as Dell computers, and then they still had WMP. WMP is like iTunes on a Mac, its the built in media player of the operating system. Not all OEMs put PowerDVD on it.

Personally, I wouldn't settle for anything other than WMP, WMP is fast, "light" and has all the features I need. I guess I like it as its got everything I need and its built right into the OS. I only installed iTunes because I can't get music, videos, photos or apps onto my iPod without it.

PowerDVD is cool though

On my old computer I couldn't even run Habbo by itself , let alone both

WMP is great but it's good to have an variety off programs just incase one off them goes wrong.

This comp is actually much faster than I thought it would be, downloads and installation process only take a matter off seconds whereas on this one it would have taken several minutes

I've actually grown to like Vista now, I love the new folder Icons , it's a shame I can't find any decent backgrounds that will fit my screen perfectly other than the default ones (The vista bars rock though!)
