Wifi: yes. I do not have broadband. The consultant has a Wifi network which I can pick up in my living room. So I get broadband access for only £6/month. Pretty good considering that there are no download limitations. And unless the internet is really busy, I get as much as 1.8MB/sec download speed. Considering that I do not download films, I reckon that my online usage is reasonable.On Ma, 21 feb 12, 22:58:03, Sian Mountbatten wrote:It will have Intel Core i5-2400 3.10GHz Socket LGA1155, MSI Z68S REV B3 motherboard, 8GB DDR3 1600MHz RAM, Nvidia GeForce 8800GT 256MB PCI-Express graphics, an SSD OCZ Agility 3 120GB 2.5" SATA instead of a hard disk drive, a Samsung DVD-RW SATA, Onboard 7.1 channel HD Audio, Onboard 10/100/1000 Mbps Lan, 802.11B/G/N WiFi, an ATX + Cooler Master 450W PSU and NO OS.

He's going to charge me £599 and I think it's worth the money, because if anything goes wrong, he's just downstairs.Just two comments: - "only" 256 MB seems low by todays standards - do you need WiFi? Kind regards, Andrei
I'm a pretty small player in the internet stakes. Apart from downloading ISOs to install Linux from, and packages from Debian, I don't do much downloading.
I don't even have a landline telephone. Just a mobile. So broadband access is very cheap for me. I have no complaints about the setup. And my mobile phone is not on a contract: I just pay for my calls by direct debit. My monthly mobile phone payment is usually less than £10. So I can't complain!
