This one still gets used pretty much every single working day, usually just browsing, although i did use it to map the scoobys Apexi PFC

A true workhorse.

The only niggle i have with Ubuntu on it, is the video playback is choppy, i have never found a workaround, if i need video playback i just boot into XP, where it suprisingly works without a hitch

Probably a linux driver issue, 95% of the time its a pure "bored and browsing forums" tool though, so its a none issue

Well i finally bought one yesterday, very pleased so far and is so much better than my 3 yr old HP Dual Core

Bought it from here too after having a look round their showroom.
