Sounds a bit on the high side to me. After all, 1.7GHz and 80GB was still pretty state-of-the-art little over a year ago. How many schools keep all their equipment that new?
I think specification varies from county to county, but I heard about a forthcoming DFES ruling that no machine should be over 5 years old.
Such bravery, putting XP net-facing in such numbers. Of course they keep all the machines patched...
