The CAT III Procurement Dept has implemented it's new XP replacement Computer, a 2007 Vintage Advent Intel Core two Q8200 with 6 Gb of RAM, I've installed Ubuntu 12.04 64 Bit O/S and an Invidia Graphics (GT650 )card with 2 GB of ddr3.+ A 500 Gb Seagate Barracuda Sata drive (one that works) purchased separately. - Great Intel i3 Level performance + a bit more I think.

Lipstick on a Pig - I will run XP Applications in Virtual Box (Hopefully) - No Internet access.

Yep.- But all for £150 Quid.
