When I'm not on the tools I'm in me orifice doing elf n safety stuff. Usually producing safe sytems of work via word docs. Manuals can run to 700+ pages and on occasions I have several docs open, a few jpegs and a couple of browser sites.
VM flashes up all to often despite setting both levels teh same (max (768) It is defragged, dsk cleaned weekly but at 80g HD it is now 70% full. RAM clealy is hopeless. Fan grinds away when it fancies it and a quick thump usually does it. Running XP SP3.
Anyway, had it built 7 years ago and it was great. Now though with Kaspersky etc bubbling it gets so slow. Thought then I would take the plunge and replace it. Docs an JPEGS I can get off OK, not sure how to transfer email info from Outlook 2003. Budget is tight right now so some advice on something that will work well, efficiently and speedily would be great.
I've a nearly new HP Compaq nx7300 with Vista business and Office 2007 installed, it is as fast as anything but where I work, (custom desk to house everything that er indoors got me) and it is not comfortable using the HP on the desk top (I'm used to teh drop down flap housing KBoard.) I see it is still a current model with built in blue tooth wi-fi etc.
So two questions really, what tower will work for me well?
I thought I might as well flog the HP Compaq as I dont use it. It has seen around 6 hours of total use since new. Any ideas what it may be worth...realistically?
Cheers
Mozzy

Mozzy,
there will never be just one answer to your question about which tower to buy.
But I will start the ball rolling.
I bought a new PC in November last year and I am VERY pleased with it:
This is the one:

But mine was labelled as Imedia S3210 not A2620.
Funnily, I have just looked at the receipt and it shows it as the PB A2620UK but it was priced at £399.00
If you can still get it at 399 then I think, with the widescreen monitor included, it is a bargain.
Just be aware that if you go looking in PC World, all their computers are priced up WITH Norton included and only in small print is the price without the Norton key.
As for you laptop, no idea how much.
