Isn't bad.

thanks for all your help guys.  I think I'm going to go for this as it looks about the best value for money.

Urgh, Fushitsu. Used to use them at work, bloody awful. Can't say about the current range.  Support is awful though.  It does have an old processor (and thus, chipset)

Consider this:

its what I bought. Core 2 Duo 2G, and 965 chipset with x3100 graphics. Worth the extra £30 (with the £50 cashback that takes about 6 weeks to get)

Enough for basic use.

Santa brought me 2 x 1G modules for mine (£35 from Crucial), but I haven't fitted yet, as the 1G isn't affecting performance much yet...

I'd take less memory (cheap, easy to upgrade), than old technology processor, chipset, and graphics, all of which cannot be upgraded.

ebuyer rejected my order 'cos I wanted it delivered to work not home so I've got a chance to change my mind.  wha'ts the HP like with 1GB, will it run vista o.k. or is an upgrade a must 'cos I'm not inclined to change back to XP unless I really have to

An extra gig of ram i think is a must for this, it's a bit cheaper and the processor maybe be older and not as good but if he is just using for basic use then it shouldn't be bad. But it's up to him personally i'd buy the fujitsu. May get £50 cashback but saves him money on the ram

It runs Vista (Business, with Aero) fine in 1G RAM.  I only tend to run Office 2007, bit of Visual Studio etc, so nothing too demanding.

I have a 2G kit to shove in mine, haven't bothered yet as it hasn't slowed down enough yet to make me do it.  When the big apps come out, then I will through it in.

A 2G kit (2 x 1G) from crucial is £35 delivered. This means throwing away the 1G that is in there.

If I could be arsed to open in, I could have got a single 1G stick to go with the 1G in there from factory, but ideally need to be a matched pair to enable the dual channel memory...
