Looking for a bog standard Laptop...

Looking for a Laptop.

Dont want to pay too much, just want something I can put XP on and use around the house with my wireless network (for internet and steaming audio and video from other pcs).

Basics:

128MB Ram, how does XP perform with less?
400mhz+ Processor.
2gb or above Hard Drive
PCMCIA expansion slot
Maybe a USB port.
CD Drive

That's about it. As you can see, I dont want it to be good, I'm happy with those specs.

Also, I currently, have 2 ex corporate Fujitsu Siemens Mobile 510 laptops. Basically 32mb ram each, 2gb HD, 220mhz (i think off hand). With full batteries and xhargers etc. How much do your reckon I'd get for these?

Anyone got any recommendatons on the above, other than ebay? In UK.

Thanks.

I love XP, had it (XP PRo) on my old desktop PC, P2 450mhz,128mb and it was not slow and painful.

I took the ram out of one and put it in the other, installed XP and I think it's working great. Got my wireless network set up and all. Very pleased. Need a bigger HD though.
