Slow Startup Help needed.

wow...very good spec for the price :D

have you tried Vista yet???

 

As the above was subject to a �£60 delivery charge plus Vat, making it �£470 in all, I decided against it. I eventually found a reconditioned Acer Laptop with the following spec.

# AMD Turion 64 MK36 Processor 2GHz
# 512KB Cache
# 1GB RAM
# 80GB Hard Drive
# DVD ReWriter MultiDrive
# 15.4" Widescreen Display
# Microsoft Windows XP Media Center
# 128MB ATI Radeon Xpress 1100M Graphics
# Wireless Enabled
# 1 year FREE warranty

Only �£349.99 plus delivery (�£4.95) including Vat.

 

It arrived this afternoon, I had a job to get IE to go to a website (it kept wanting to go to MSN). Got it working eventually. Although it's slightly longer than the old laptop it still goes into my Targus case.

 

I am very satisfied with the Acer Aspire Laptop. It's much faster than the old laptop and compares very well with the Acer Aspire Desktop running Ubuntu. These factory refurbished machines are a good bargain, you don't get all the paperwork with them but if you are an experienced user then you don't need it.
