I was fully aware of the specs and I did ask about the screen resolution, which does bother me too much.
Spec wise it is better than the IBM 600E I had, although not by much. It runs XP very well, a lot better than the 600E did. Once I get LM9 installed it will run better too.
Beggers cant be choosers.

Hi Simon,
A thought for the future might be to check online whether the hardware you're about to get works well. If you do this it should stand you in good stead.
That laptop sounds ghastly, by the way - you might find that the best place to run it might be over to the nearest bin.
Failing that, I would suggest that if it's very, veeeerrrrry slow you might want to leave it booting/installing while you do something else that takes a long time.
