###### many thanks for the spec info, as i am a total newbie to the wonderful world of computers  the thing i was planning to do , was go to my nearest IT .mall ( Chonburi ) and get a ready made branded machine to start with.( it was going to be an ATEC machine ,but not now )  The  other one that seem's to have a decent spec ( what do I know !!) is made by a company called ..ACER , the spec is ...

Intel P4 2.80 Ghz processor ( or Celeron 2.6Ghz )

As a computer newbie ( with no computer minded friends ) finding some where to make up a computer from scratch seem's a bit daunting  and when the shop's made up the perfect machine ,with a good spec, how would i know that in fact the machine does have the spec i requested ...? and not a lower spec .

could you comment on the above ACER  machine,  Many Thanks ...
