Snerfs the NOOB

Personally, I don't like the idea that the platform from which I do everything on my computer, play games, do university work, etc, to be illegal. It's something I use up to 10 hours daily, all year round, I don't see why you'd obtain it illegally when you can get a legal copy for so cheap, which is guaranteed to never stop working all of a sudden (for validation reasons, and yes I know somebody who this happened to) and never get me in trouble for any work I do while using it.

Thats strange since Microsoft system works by telling you its illegal, making you wait 5 seconds to login telling you to buy it and then letting you use it as normal, if its determined to be cracked.

Its personal preference really but if your on a budget and the price of the OS means the difference between a high end gpu and a mid range id definatley wait and get windows later.

I'd take you up on the offer Piers, I just don't know how much petrol would cost you. Depending on how much it is, depends on how long I wait. Could be 'till the end of January if petrol was a higher price.

dual coer i5 is hyperthreading, so 4 logical cores, generally for gaming you dont really need a quad, especially when you loose 0.4ghz stock speed and increase price

yeah, but just saying, i had problems with black ops with my dual core, i just upgraded a few days ago, but i was stalking the steam forums on black ops for quite a while and almost everyone with a dualcore was crying...

£20 for petrol is pretty good actually. I'll see how Christmas goes money wise and I'll decide in a few days wether I'm bothering or not. I have myself a W7 disc + Activator, but I don't know wether it's any good or not, since I've tried it on another computer and it installs 50 pre-set programs already (such as Microsoft Office and whatnot).

Piers spec looks pretty solid tbh (I won't get into a PSU argument lol).

Also, be careful with the warez talk .
