    The only place i can buy it from is littlewoods direct

    http://www.littlewoodsdirect.com/rf...tem_id=15&Mis_item_loc_id=1&product=428280186

    the website, does not mention the model number and their information is unreliable.

    I have tried ringing them, but they can only tell you whats in the manual.

    I rang acer this morning, and they said they could only help if i give them a full model number.

    regards

    John.

    PS. bye the way, your second link is from me.

    Call them again and ask them to read the exact model name for you. The full model name is on the box, as well as all the specifics.

    Indeed, phone littlewoods again, and try the muppets at Acer again, surely Acer can say the models they supply to Littlewoods and the rrp prices.

    I think the first batch of 5920G were GT models (mine is) but since they have bought out more variations of the machine the card has changed to a GS model.
    Can you not return it unopened to littlewoods if it is no good .. you can tell the full model from the packaging so there is no need to open it.
    Pretty expensive price from there though .. £150 more than I paid for mine 3 months ago.
