Those are nicer specs, but for she uses hers for, she doesn't need all that.
For crying out loud, she's storing maybe 20 CD's and documents, 320Gigs will
last forever. And, 2GB of memory isn't a dealbreaker at the price.
You need to fit your ideal specs into what the client's is going to use the
computer for.

I don't mean to be mean or anything, but were you looking at the same
computer I was?
If I'm not mistaken, the information said that the computer had a 320 GB
hard drive, unless I read it incorrectly.
It also had 2 GB of RAM.
This computer is going to be running Windows 7 64 bit edition, with an
NVDIA
Video card. The least you want to get in that case is at least 4 Gigs of
RAM, and the hard drive should be at least 500 gigs.
If you're paying more than 250 for that computer, I'm afraid you're
getting
ripped off.
Computer with a lot more than that are selling for 350 and 450 dollars
without a monitor, which, if you're blind, should not need one, so the
monitor should be a luxury, and besides, you can pick up a good monitor
for
765 dollars, flat screen and all.
In any case, when shopping for a computer, don't settle for the computer
that seems to be the best price out there, because, like a car, the price
tag might be great, but what's under the hood may not be.
