As I said before, beggers cant be choosers. I realise a sub-1GB is not for everyone, but I only surf, write and email.
Remember I run a lightweight distro. Linux Mint LXDE is fast even on my 366Mhz P2.

Heh, I think we might have different expectations when it comes to a machine running at a "reasonable pace".
Personally I don't consider XP (with antivirus and being used for anything other than looking at the desktop) usable below 512MB and certainly wouldn't want to spend much time on anything with less than 1GB...on any Processor.
Maybe I am just getting old and impatient :)
