??? WTF?

So what's the verdict? I think, for some random reason, I have some Currys' vouchers so looking to use them.

if £360 is about what you're looking to pay then you're going to struggle to find much better than that anywhere. being able to use your vouchers is a brucey bonus too

no idea, look pretty much the same

you should be able to get another 5% off those prices with the code 'XMas5' if you buy/reserve online

Thanks for the code gatso.

I assume the difference is the dual-core processor - will this run FM faster?

If I had to choose, I'd get the second one solely for the dual core processor. Athlon's are crap and Celeron's aren't much better.

scotty if you want it for FM2010 make sure it has a dual processor makes a huge difference
