Based on your requirements; internet, a 'few' games and some office applications probably and possibly itunes or similar. I would think about upgrade rather than new; upgrade RAM to 1Gb, perhaps a dedicated graphics card if currently using on-board and a second HDD (160GB is about right) also a new PSU might be an idea. Copy all your music, data and **** files to the new HDD; Format the existing HDD and re-install operating system and other progs. This should see a dramatic performance in system speed; I've recemtly seen XPLite in action and it makes XP very quick by cutting out all the rubbish that installs in the background. Should fall easily within the budget you've set, and available from an Ebay 'store' very cheaply.

Best of luck.

i could not recommend Mesh due to poor aftersales and repair attitude.
