Yep, gets as far as Bios
And... the PC is from Scan.
So... on Friday I'll give them a ring.
Much obliged.
The main thing with the new processors is that you get more cores, the old i3 had 2 cores with Hyper-Threading and the new one is a full 4 cores like the last gen i5, the i5 also gets a bump to 6 cores and the i7 has 6 with Hyper-Threading. This will make a difference with things like recording, which when using multiple tracks is inherently multi-threaded.
You'll probably want to replace a hard drive and thoroughly dust the internals...
But people throw out some very reasonably spec'd machines on eBay.
I have a project which will involve getting 4 PCs... And I've been finding the spec I need for around £40-50 (just need the consistency of 4 identical units)...
Worth your budget and some shrewd auction delving you could get some nice stuff
