I realise that the asus has an older cpu with slower Ghz and it states a max of 2gb so i loose out on upgrading

How much do i loose how big an impact does it have? is there other PC's available in the 400-600£ bracket? *exchange rate is aprox 1£ = 10Dkr.

1 thing i would like to stress i would very much like the option for extended 3 year warranty on the product, and i have been browsing the dell website but couldnt find anything i particularly liked, if you recommend an IBM please note that the price must include onsite warranty (the IBM's i found generally seemed too expensive but i dont mind going a bit down in specs if there is an IBM that is recommendable)

Have i missed something important?

Thanks for reading.
