Processor Bus?

I saw this Dell PC on Tesco direct which I thought was good specs for it's
price.
I sent the page to my friend, who also said it was also very good, but the
"low" processor bus will mean the PC wont be as fast as I thought it would be.

It's processor bus is 800mhz. Is this low?

Full system specs:

Re: Processor Bus?

No. A gamer rig would probably use a 1066 bus but you aren't going to get
that on your budget anyway. The concern to me is the integrated graphics.
You will get better performance with a separate graphics card but you can
add a graphics card after the fact. I would try it as it is first and see.
For the price this looks like a good choice.
