at present a student, i use a friends office as i dont study at home but im fed up hauling the laptop through with me. there is a headless laptop there so started using that but its slow, 1.5gb ram running vista slow.
option 1: so cheapest option is buy a 2gb stick and bump it to 3gb. but i worrk that it will still be painfully slow. its only a 1.6 something ghz core 2 duo with a 60gb hdd inside.
option 2: there is a couple desktop machines in the back, optiplex 740 and a 755 they have no hdd or ram.
option 3: buy a new cheap as possible desktop build as in trying to stay under £200
option 4: buy soemtihng better, to replace my media centre phenom 9500 box and move that machine to the office, max budget likely be about £400. poor student so stretching really not much of an option.
