I actually have that computer. I love it and is pretty darn fast. The only problem/reason people don't like it is because it is not an Intel chip. If you bumped up the ram I doubt you would have any problems with it at all.

Actually I might think about selling mine for much less than that so give me a PM if you are interested.

Yeah mine does just about the same sort of stuff very well. I make DVDs do some photoshop and web creation. Its a great machine. Obviously if you want to do some sort of windows stuff you would want an Intel.

I think if I upped the ram in mine it would fly
