Basically, I need to check something with you guys.

I have always been under the impression that a computer with an intergrated GPU is always going to be significantly worse than a computer with the same graphics memory that are dedicated. The issue I'm having is that I helped to buy a computer for my brother yesterday, and at no point did it say "integrated" on the labelling for the computer. Unfortunately, after mysterious performace issues, I finally discovered that the PC had a 256mb NVIDIA geforce 7050 GPU.

Is not labelling the GPU as "integrated" a form of mis advertising - because I sure as hell would not have gone anywhere near the PC if I had seen the word integrated.

I personally wanted to buy a PC from overclockers.co.uk, but my mum decided that she wanted to go to a high street store instead.

This is a link to the PC (not the store we got it from)

I wouldn´t call that misleading advertising, because the graphic chip is clearly named as "nvidia 7050", which is an integrated solution. The fact
that it´s call "chip" instead of "card" makes the difference imho.

Thanks.

Wow, it looks like we're about to be screwed over. I don't think we can take it back - I just hope to God that we can add a graphics card to the PC....

If we have to keep the PC, do you think it is possible to install a new graphics card, or is this PC too basic for that?

Well, I got a shock when I tried to add an old card to my parents Dell...it didn't even have a slot.

I suggest you get on to the shop, they may well take it back.
Mail order and they would have to, as supported by the Distance Selling Regs.

Thanks.

Well, it's a huge tower so one would hope that they didn't just fill the thing with air, and actually put some slots in case the owner discovered that it had a terrible graphics card.

But after getting onto the company (PC World/Currys) they seem to have changed their minds about returning the item Fingers crossed!
