    Hello.... I'm in need of some advice here. Hopefully I can get a good answer to put my mind at rest. I'm purchasing a new pc and am wondering what I need to put in it. I have a tech spec, so can someone tell me if it is okay for my needs?

    I mainly use my pc for burning dvds and music. and downloading. I don't do much else, maybe some photo edititng and such on photoshop. But really that's it.

    So, would this be okay:

    processor: intel core 2 duo e7600 with VT (3.06 GHz, 3M, 1066 MHz FSB)
    operating system: windows 7
    memory: 2gb ddr3 non-ecc sdram, 1066 mhz (2 dimm)
    boot hard drive: 320 gb SATA 3.0 gb/s and 16 mb databurts cache

    Maybe double the ram for better responsiveness when photo editing.
    32 bit 7 will be able to use 3.25GB of the 4GB

    looks like you're getting the bottom of the pile memory in it as well, DDR2 goes up to and beyond the speed of memory they're selling.

    It will work perfectly well though.

    Worth asking for the dedicated oem disk for your OS as well, as otherwise they don't bother putting it in the bundle, you just get a recovery disk. If they refuse, contact MS for the oem disk, they will normally charge a few £ for it including postage.
