Got about £400 to spend, and the RAM looks good and plentiful, same with processor speed.
Only going to be used for college work, home finances, standard internet usage, and a tiny bit of gaming (but not really high drain games, just simulation type games)
Looks okay but its only going to recognize 3GB of the 4GB memory as I believe it is 32bit. The AMD Turion 64 X2 may slow down a bit over time but with what you intend to do it should be okay.

(we have one from here - they did fix it when an early fault appeared but has only 3 month warranty IIRC)
This Toshiba from Stables is a better deal. Bit more expensive at £420 but comparatively more bang for your buck. Biggest difference is the Intel Core 2 Duo CPU, which thrashes the AMD and you get Vista Home Premium as opposed to Basic. Also, the speakers on the Toshiba are excellent - good enough for listening to music and watching a film.
