TheGulls Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 For that price you can get an equivelent spec or better brand new, I wouldn't touch that with yours esp if you want to run something like FM. Whilst the processor & ram are okay the graphics card is intergrated. Not to mention the whole package looks shady as hell. Buy from a reputable company.

FrazT Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 That is a lot of cash for a refurbished machine- as has been said, look for a new one with a dedicated grpahics card. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGulls Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 One quick search came up with this, it may not be brand new but at least you have some sort of comeback if any problems, and it also has a half desent graphics card. http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/compaq-presario-cq61-320sa-refurbished-laptop-03914983-pdt.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
burtisevil Posted November 16, 2010 Author Share Posted November 16, 2010 Are there any you could recommend for the same price? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGulls Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 The one I recommended was £10 less, do you want an exact match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
burtisevil Posted November 16, 2010 Author Share Posted November 16, 2010 Ive read that the core 2 duo is better than dual core, and the one on ebay has .5 more processing speed. Will it make that much of a distance in performance? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGulls Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 I may make a little difference but the ebay machine has an intergrated graphics chip set compared to the one I recommeded which has an NVidia Geforce graphic card (specifically for games) this will run the ME far better and may also boost the processing time as well. The one i recommended also has Windows 7 64bit which is faster than Windows Vista. If it were my money I would buy the PC World option because at least you can walk into a store if you have a problem, I'm always wary of ebay esp for that amount of cash, not to mention that Fujitsu machines are not the best out there.

TheGulls Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 The intergrated graphics card will slow you down in respect of the ME, for instance on another thread someone cannot view the stadium as they have an intergrated graphics card, if your happy with that then go for this machine, via the link below though because for an extra £20 you can get a brand new one from Amazon http://www.amazon.co.uk/Acer-Notebook-Pentium-Wireless-Windows/dp/tech-data/B0040RX40C/ref=de_a_smtd Please bear in mind that although it might be okay for this years version what happens next year if It cannot handle the game Hope all this helps.
