** OT ** laptop for internet play

I've been lookin for a deal on a good lappy. My main concern was a wide screen with good resolution and a decent processor/ram combo. anyways found this at Dell outlet.. opinions on if its a good deal would be appreciated. thanks

Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP Home
Memory: 256 MB DDR2 400MHz SDRAM (1 DIMM)
Hard Disk Drive: 40 GB EIDE Hard Drive (5400 RPM)
NoteBook Screen: 15.4 inch WSXGA+ Notebook Screen
Network Interface Card: Dell Wireless 350 Bluetooth Internal
Intel PRO/Wireless 2200 mini PCI Card
CD Read-Write Drive: 24X CD RW/DVD Combo Drive


639.99 shipped. and 55 more for a 512Ram chip from pricewatch.

The closest equivelant new Dell system would be 900+
at the moment with a discount i get thru my work but
has a slightly longer warranty 1yr vs 90 day for outlet one.

need support to pull this trigger on this one thanks

Rather than marking your post OT and putting it in the wrong forum, did you consider putting it in the correct forum instead?

You also need to specify in detail what you'll be using it for (not "poker", but which sites, number of tables, support apps etc etc).
