Just bought it now. My other laptop is on its way out and what a fine time to buy

Ha ha, brilliant - I just convinced my work that my laptop needed upgrading - nothing to do with FM09, no sirree, honestly, it wasn't - and they've given me that very model

That is quite spectacular mate, hats off to you

Ive been looking at this, not too expensive and the graphics card is above the spec and should run ok

That looks alright

The graphics card is fine. My mate has the same one and informed me it ran like a peach.

any good?

You have to ask yourself this

How long will the PC/Laptop last before it needs upgrading/changing again?

Is it worth it for maybe 1 or 2 years.

You can buy a "gaming" PC super specs for £4000 & it will need upgrading after 2 years!!!!

Not true. To be honest I wouldn't buy any computer equipment from a place that sells top spec PCs for £4000, that's just ridiculous. My PC, which I bought 2 and a half years ago for just over £1500, can play everything you throw at it (2GB, AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+, ATI Radeon X1900XTX 512MB) and it's not going to need upgrading anytime soon. If anything, if you get a PC with the same specs now, it'll probably cost less.

Looks decent, but the processor bus is rather slow. Only 667Mhz. Still, a good price and I like HP.

Would that be ok for FM09?

I picked up this one

http://www.staples.co.uk/ENG/Catalog/cat_sku.asp?Description=UK_CL_Laptops+-+Fujitsu&CatIds=21797,35750,90635&webid=396307&affixedcode=WW

For the bargain price of £330 instore at staples due to it being an ex-display model. The staples site does not include VAT so it should have been £399

The best advice i can give is look at Pcworld, comet ect. they all have refurbished laptops at bargain prices or do a trick I have seen in the past and go online and find out what is not in stock then go instore looking for it, when they say it's out of stock see if they will do a deal on the display model, a lot of big stores will oblige and you still get a full 12 months warranty!

I picked up this when my works lap top died:

The advantages of being self employed, I have no idea if it runs FM09 as I am resisting the urge to play it until I finish my current sign up game.

I sure hope so, or I will have to buy another.
