not sure why you would need 2 gb of ram etc when your main activity is internet and no gaming. Im sure you can get something at even the 1.6ghz and 1 or 2 gig of ram for cheap... my advise is too stay away from IBM thinkpads.... grrrrrr
Depends on what OS you get. Vista needs at least 2gb, sweet spot is with 4g.
Price of RAM these days is cheap.
