Is this a decent pc.....?

...for browsing the net,downloads etc and if so what do you think it's worth bidding up to ? (l already have a monitor) I've also asked how much to install Windows Vista.

No...just re-read the ad...no operating system included.

Personally I'd steer clear of eBay when it comes to PC's. You just have to look at some of the stuff they put in their ads which shows they are either stupid, ignorant or merely trying to mislead buyers. Example - "AMD Athlon64 AM2 DUALCOREX2 7850+ 2.8Ghz X2 = 5.6Ghz" What a load of s**t.

If you're a PC novice and you want a simple PC to browse the web then you might as well just buy a Dell. At least you get piece of mind knowing it's got a warranty and you won't have to argue with Kevin or Sanjay at BodgitPC's ltd when something goes wrong.

The ' 2.8Ghz x 2 = 5.6Ghz' says it all for me.

PMSL some poor sod ended up paying £197 for that!

I'll just have to go for a new HD and buy Windows Vista Ultimate as mine never came with the disc.
