mike_k123 Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 im buying a new desktop and i was wondering if this desktop is good enough to play FM11 on http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/packard-bell-onetwo-m-d6020uk-03660998-pdt.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekman Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Well it will definitely run FM10 and probably 11 but I would suggest you shop around for a better deal and avoid pc world if possible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mg539 Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Will run FM10 but for over £600 you should be able to get a desktop with better specs. Is true that PC World sells out-of-date equipment as if it was the latest technology... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
celebritykiller Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Do not shop from PC World Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robzilla Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 As others have said you could get a much better deal by shopping around. You're paying over the odds for this because... a) It's from PC World b) It's got a touchscreen (do you need a touchscreen) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

magicmastermind124 Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Like the others have said, shop around before committing yourself to buying any electrical or computer goods. Have a look at this PC, if you've got a monitor already it's perfect and you can add a Graphics Card and Operating System for about £100 - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-226-OK Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfgrigg Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 no chance of working well .... the graphics card is unknow to many ...Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500 M ?? a waste off money Well, I wouldn't go that far. The 3D engine in FM2010 will run on that graphics chip, though most likely on the lowest settings. It seems probable that FM2011 will too. To the OP. I agree with the others posters on PC World, and that this computer doesn't really represent value for money. If you particularly want an all-in-one with touchscreen, then by all means go for it, but it's likely to be very difficult to upgrade in the future and you can get a more powerful system for £650. If you know much about computers and are capable of choosing your own components, then CyberPowerSystems are very good value. Alternatively, a quick look on ebuyer reveals this desktop for £400. Compared to the Packard Bell it has a better processor, more RAM, a better graphics card and a bigger hard drive. It doesn't include a monitor, but you can pick up this separately on the internet for a little over £100, which still keeps the price below the Packard Bell.

dfgrigg Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Apologies for double post; looks like magic mastermind beat me to it! And billynomates, please stop posting rubbish. It's true that at the top of the range AMD chips don't really compete with their Intel counterparts, but not many of us can afford an i7. AMD's processors are generally very overclockable and much better value for money. A Phenom quad is going to coast through almost any game on the planet.

jakobx Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 I would have to disagree with this. AMD has some pretty good processors. While they cant match Intels latest i7 processors you will still get a much better value for your money if you buy amd. A six core amd processor is probably the best processor for football manager that doesnt cost an obscene amount of money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakobx Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 To get back on topic. The computer you linked to as others have said before isnt that great. It uses a slow processor, it has a weird amount of ram for something that is running a 64 bit OS (but dont worry 3gb is more than enough for FM) and it doesnt have a proper gfx card. It would kinda run FM in 3d but pretty much forget to run any modern game on that pathetic excuse for a graphics chip. What you should do is find some small store that builds custom PCs and just add an AMD quad core, 4gb of ram, 1tb or 2tb hard disk and an ATI dx11 gfx card (even the crappiest one should run FM just fine but if you want to play more modern games get at least an ATI 5770).

Wonky Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 just to add .. i also wouldnt touch anything with a AMD Processor .. again 2rd rate Not true. I don't know much about processors myself, but I've read a lot of chat from very knowledgeable people and it all depends on what you get. Both AMD and Intel have good and bad processors. You're spreading FUD. If anyone wants to know if a processor is any good, do some research on it. Look at reviews, benchmarks, etc. -- don't take the word of one person.
