Hi Richard,
The only thing that bothers me about that PC, although it is excellent=20
value for money, is the integrated graphics. Graphics cards that are=20
integrated share the main memory, so you don't in fact, have 250MB of=20
usable memory, but 192 MB, because the graphics will eat 64MB of that=
memory.
OK, so she may not have any problems at all, but if she is using JFW, it is=
=20
a bit of a hog where memory is concerned.
Having said all this, you could always throw another memory stick into it,=
=20
as it is very cheap nowadays.
All the best
