    Nice!

    Can you switch the video card for an nvidia 6800 gs or 7800?

    They are actually alot better then the RADEON X1300.

    =)

    Probably, but it might (probably will) cost more

    [edit] 6800 GS = +£8

    7800GT = +£100

    :mellow:

    Ah well, you can always do that later.

    Actually dragoneye, the 6800 gs, runs practically equal to the 7800gt. Its only 5 FPS under the 7800 (and costs HALF the price)

    I would definatley go with the GS upgrade =)

    OOOH! Go for the BFGtech Nvidia GeForce 6800GS I just got one and its awesome! Also it comes already overclocked but for no extra price so I just bought a card that has the same (or very very nearly) power as a 7800GT for about half the price
