Hi Max, Acer release new models all the time so its a bit hard to say if these will be around for long. The best bet is to get your money together and then give us a call for suggestions. You maybe able to pick up a better model for the same price if they've got some new ones out.

Question from Lloyd: Asked on 08/01/2009 I play Lord of the Rings Online/Mines of Moria - the 9100 card would seem quite capable of handling these at reasonable res - the Windows Experience Index Score for the game is 4 and I believe it scores above this on its lowest subscore?? - Also - whats the cost/advantages of upgrading to vista 64 bit

Answer from SteveF: Answered on 09/01/2009
Yes the graphics card will handle that game without any problems. For most people 64 bit vista is a consideration when thinking about upgrading the ram. If you have 4 GB with 32 bit vista then the system only reads 3.2 GB on 64 bit it reads the whole 4 GB.
