you may be better off taking it to one of your more 'geekified' friends, if you arent sure how to format and reinstall an operating system it could take a long and drawn out process over a forum, much better to get someone to show u, you must know someone who could do it? | |

well its kinda odd. a couple months ago i took it to some guy cos it was loud and very slow. apparently it was the cpu. he changed that and installed windows vista and gave it back and it was faster and ok. | |

Buy a cheap dell/hp etc. etc., look in ebuyer and dabs. Its much better to buy one assembled now :) | |

I have 1 more year left at uni and a laptop that is pushing 4 years old and cant handle things like it could, so ive been toying with the idea of building a computer as cheap as possible, but i dont know anything. |
