Got wifey a new one for Xmas.
This one is better than most:
1. P4, 2.4Ghz, 512MB RAM, 15" XGA, ATI 7500 dedicated graphics, modem, CDRW-DVD.
2. Originally came with 30G, Toshiba HD. It was 4200 RPM, PIO Mode. (Can't believe Dell put that crap on a mid-level machine...) I just installed a new Seagate 60G Momentus, 5400 RPM, running in DMA5 mode... 5 year warranty. (Cost, $95)
3. Originally came with WinXP Home (support stated to end in 2009). I just did a fresh install of WinXP Pro + all critical updates, so it will be supported until at least 2014. (XP Pro upgrade alone is $99-$149)
Has not traveled much, so not banged around a lot. It's been wife's email, web surfer and game player. Excellent condition!
All discs, drivers, and manual included.
I suspect it will bring $300-$350 + shipping on eBay, so if you're interested for let's say, $325 + shipping, PM me.
