hey dude if you live close to any best buy. just go down there they have a toshiba for $499 most of the time. they are pretty good computers comes with centrino duo.......these computer are better than those cheap sh!t called dell.... and Hp get that toshiba and spend 60 bucks on another stick of ram. uninstall all the toshiba software.. you'll be good to go.. and lastly remove norton.... so u might be interesting on gettin AVG or Avira anti viruses.......it's free to try..... there are other good comp. but i suggest you the toshiba coz it'll be better for you price range and you'll also enjoy some left over in ur pocket. peace
