Thanks again
Yes am looking at refurb - thats waht my 10 year old one was too
More questions - sorry
Ram -- my old system xp you had to put in matched pairs, am I correct in thinking that I dont have to do that now and so I could keep the 1 4gb stick and then add 2x4gb so using 3 of the 4 slots and getting a total of 12gb
Also the 8300 the only difference I can see is it has an i3 3rd gen and the 8100 has an i5 1st gen
The link that you gave - they are even cheeper but will need to do a bit of due diligence as to the seller. I was just sold a little bit on the more expensive one (8100) as the are an authorized microsoft refurb seller (convinced me ) also that one comes with a 12 month warranty for what its worth !
