I am after a relatively low price laptop, either 2nd hand, refurbished or even new if I can get something the right price.
New machines I have considered are around the £300 price tag, for the 2nd hand/re furb I am looking at £150-200.
I am bemused by some of the spec, which is where I am after some help. I primarily want the machine to run a software app which requires a minimum of:-
P3 processor
32mb graphics card
100 mb hd space
CD rom
OS win 98 - XP
The confusing factors are:-
32mb graphics card - many of the laptops I have seen have "integrated/shared" graphics and not specific graphics cards. Judging from the system requirements of the software do I need a specific graphics card?
The OS. If the software requires up to XP, would it run on vista? Many newer machines are running vista.
If anyone has any suggestions and can help answer my questions it would be appreciated.
