Hi Vikram, I've been using Acer Aspire 5100 with AMD Turion (64 Bit) for quite sometime now. It has the following config - 1) 15.4" WXGA wide CrystalBrite TFT LCD 2) ATI Radeon Xpress 1100 3) 120 GB Hard Disk 4) 512 MB DDR2 RAM 5) 802.11b/g wireless LAN, etc. No hardware compatibility issues with Ubuntu/kubuntu 8.04. Even got the mm card reader and the webcam working! Good Value for the Money. Plus, it is sub-35k.
