Mine is as follows

Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9000 @2.00GHz
Memory 4.00 GB
System type   32- bit

is that good ??

Smudger - that's fine. Wouldn't stress about an upgrade for a good few years!

Ian - these days it's difficult to go wrong with a PC/ laptop as they're so powerful. Unless you edit HD video and/ or play serious games you'll be fine no matter what. I'd recommend forking out about £400.

A minimum specification for the price would be 4Gb memory, 500Gb hard drive, 15" screen along with a DVD writer. Processor wise I'd lean towards something from Intel rather than AMD but in the end it doesn't matter as it'll do the job you want!
