Packard Bell iMedia 5096

This power-house of a computer from packard bell is the best computer that I have ever had. Over the past ten years now I have had more then four different computers. However they always used to go down with some type of problem whether it was a faulty HDD, a system error or something else I was always getting problems with them. That was until I got the Imedia from Packard Bell. It's a super fast computer that never lets you down, I have had it for over a year & a half now & I have never had problems with it. The storage capacity or HDD is Hugh & it works so fast allowing you to work on several different programs at once as well as surf the web at high speed. The HD sound card that comes with it sounds fantastic & the grafics card is equally as good. This has to be the best computer I have ever used top marks.

The Packard Bell iMedia 5096 is a great computer ive had it since it 1st came out. ive only had one problem with it, that is the graphic card which has gone really wierd like the screen goes black and then nothing comes up after a reset. but a good pc and still can handle some games around. ive only got 512mb of ram but i would recommend a upgrade to 1gb which is the max.

I have owned this computer for just over a year now and i'm really satisfied with it. The previous owner was a good friend of mine who had owned it since it was purchased from pc world. The specifications are as follows: Intel Pentium 4 Processor 2.66Ghz (which is pretty nifty for an older processor), 512mb of RAM, 60gb hard drive, Nvidia Geforce 4200 64mb (not really enough for todays gaming standards) and Windows xp home edition service pack 2.

Since I have owned this pc, I have upgraded the ram to 1024mb (1gb) and it really is quite fast for a computer of its age, for example, my friend purchased a compaq presario from pc world around a year ago, about the same time i had mine and it had the same amount of ram as mine except that it had an amd Sempron processor about 1.8ghz and it was really slow compared to mine.

So a little advice for people looking for a cheap computer - don't buy one with a small amd processor at pc world or comet for example, it would just be a waste of your time.

Whereas you could probably pick one of these up for about half the price of the cheap ones in shops and the good thing is that upgrading this computer is really cheap indeed, the 512mb ram card only cost me £15 and a new graphics card would cost about £25 - £30. So less than £50 and you see a much bigger difference in the performance.

It also a lovely looking tower as well with blue lights on the front that stay on. Thats why i'm giving this computer an overall rating of 8/10, its just simply amazing and i would definetely recommend it to anyone.
