Intel Core i3-540 Dual-Core @ 3.06GHz; 4GB RAM; 500GB HDD; DVD burner; gigabit; Windows 7 Home Premium; NVIDIA Geforce G310 512MB; card reader; 1yr warranty; Gigabit Ethernet
$469

or

Intel Core i5-750 Quad-Core @ 2.66GHz; 4GB RAM; 1TB HDD; DVD burner; gigabit; Win7; ATI Radeon HD5450 1GB; card reader; 1yr warranty; 15mo McAfee SecurityCenter
$679

So a $200 difference. Both easily in my price range.


Or there is this Laptop too

Dell Inspiron 15R Intel Core i3-330M 2.26GHz 15.6in Laptop (4GB/320GB/Win7) $549.99
15.6" 1366x768 LED; Intel Core i3-330M Dual-Core @ 2.26GHz; 4GB RAM; 320GB HDD; DVD burner; 802.11n; Windows 7 Home Premium; webcam; 6-cell battery; 1yr warranty + 15mo McAfee SecurityCenter
Go with the I5 unit for the price difference. You'll be glad you did. Much better processor.
Really though any of todays machines are light years ahead of yours.
