Huh? 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

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.
