The first is an IPOWER 8520 and the second is the IXTREME Y8520. 2 different models.

yeah but there is no such thing as ipower 8520, and there is something called ixtereme 8520, http://www.packardbell.co.uk/produ [...] 1-900.html
, and also all the infro the packard bell website provides are all the same as the dixons, apart from the processer, which is also the same but the ghz.

dixons has it listed wrong. Both systems are using the e6550 conroe CPU. That's a 2.33Ghz CPU.

Dixons is listing theirs as a refurbished PC. So remember that when thinking about buying. It's a used PC that's had repairs done. It appears they just listed the CPU frequency wrong.

OK, thanks for your help, when you say repairs, is it something major?

That's something only Dixons would know. It's not always a bad thing, because you should be getting new parts. However, it all depends on how reputable/responsible the company is with their repairs.
