alan, I wouldn't take this machine anywhere near the
computer repair store.

If you can do it yourself then fine but if not, it simply is
not economic.

You can buy new PCs from places such as EuroPC
(www.europc.com) for as 
little as 3250.00 and you can get second hand PCs for less
money than this.

You should not really consider anything slower than a
Pentium 4 or celeron 
based on the pentium 4 or an AMD Athlon 2000++ processor.
If you are 
running Windows XP, you should not use less than 512MB of
RAM with a 
screenreader.

Regards

Graham
