The AST-commissioned Gallup report also said that 73 per cent of UK PC owners replace the first PC with the new one, and more than a quarter of those surveyed will run two fully-operational systems.

However, the report also found that although 58 per cent of PC users plan to buy a faster machine in the next year, a massive 78 per cent expect their current PC to last beyond three years, with the majority of users aged 35-plus expecting their systems to last for over six years.

Gallup interviewed over 1,000 home PC users in the UK to produce the report.

AST can be contacted by telephone on 0181-587 3000.
