Just take a look at your local Fry's (if you have them) or Target/WalMart/etc. (if you don't). Almost anything they have will be sufficient, but you might later end up adding memory and/or hard drive space to them. About three weeks ago I got a Pentium 4 3GHz with WinXP Home at Fry's for $279 with a $50 mail in rebate. It only has 256MB of memory, but you could get another stick of 256MB and you'd be OK, but kinda slow, even with Photoshop Elements. It still might be faster than your last machine, though. :-) It comes with an 80GB hard drive, but for less than $100 you could add at least 160GB to that. And the best part is you could get the cheap box to start and add memory and/or hard drive later if you felt you needed it. Back in August WalMart had laptops with Turion 64 CPU, 1GB memory, 80GB hard drive, Dual Layer DVD recorder, and 1280x768 wide screen LCD for around $750. I've seen similar laptops recently for under $600. -- Thanks, DougF (KG4LMZ) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
