    On the face of it I'd up your graphics card as 256 is bout your average laptop these days so no harm in having 512. And up your hard drive if you plan to use the internal one - and find out what type of hard drive it is too! Also does it have a FW800 connection? You didn't give the processor speed btw

    thanks for the advice.....

    the processor is Intel® Core™ 2 Duo T6400 (2.0GHz,2MB,800MHz FSB)

    hard drive is sata 5400rpm

    i think the firwire is standard Firewire (IEEE 1394a)...

    this laptop is 850e...

    but i did see a cracking looking acer 6930g......for only 700e

    ACER Aspire 6930G-594G64MN – Specifications
    • 2,2 GHz Intel Pentium Core 2 Duo T5900(2mb l2 cache)
    • 4 GB memory
    • 640 GB(2x 320GB)HDD(sata 150 5400rpm)

    no firewire but i can get an adaptor for 30 quid....
