I'm on another mate's computer, have found out that there is a Compac that has V-ram and 2 gigs and a 180 gig disc on the Intel dual core. £399
I've yet to see the build quality. This is why I am biased towards HP, their mouldings are very robust...well, they seem to be.
Have just been told of a company that supplies at cut price and with XP if you want it.... Am off to see the guy this PM.
