Hmm well i guess I'm one of the suckers!! Just got a Dell 2200 with 768 MB RAM. I mean it's no the deep end wrt specs but it can do more than email and type Word docs I assure you, especially as it comes wth a 8X DVD+/- RW drive! It's pretty Ok for authoring DVD video too. I think the biggest fault in these cheaper models are the Celeron PU (which was quite adequate a little while back) and the shared memory (esp video). Otherwise they're quite decent!
