I have just bought a very similar laptop from saveonsamsung.co.uk for £598
When buying this model be warned that although it comes with 4GB of RAM, because it is on a 32-bit operating system, it will only ever use 3GB. It's not until you upgrade to 64-bit that it can utilise all 4GB of RAM, so until you do upgrade you are essentially not using the extra 1GB that you pay for.

Well, where to begin? ...Hmm, at the beginning I suppose. This CPU (E6600) is simply better than any other AMD CPU on the market...and yes, it is better than AMD's socket F tomfoolery before you raise your hand to interupt me. Marry this beast with an 8800GTX (or GTS version) and some low latency DDR2-800 (2GB for starters), and you have a veritable beast on your sweaty paws. I remember when I first knocked together my E6600 system and booted the thing up..."Why is the CPU fan rotating??...must...find...3...pin...fan...header...connector!" - I thought that, in my haste to build the PC, that I'd forgotten to connect it. I was expecting some kind of imminent 'China Syndrome' meltdownery, but no! The fan was connected to the 3 pin header after ... Read More:

The time when one CPU isn't enough is nearly upon us and both Intel and AMD are trying to create and sell the best dual-core CPU they can. AMD have the X2 and Intel first had the PentiumD and now the Core2. Technically the Core2 is the better CPU, but once you've been with Intel, only AMD will do.
Intel use a system incorporating a southbridge and a front-side bus to integrate their RAM with their CPU. Unfortunately as new CPU's are released the front-side bus has to get faster, leaving motherboards that are limited to a slower speed redundant. AMD incorporate a memory controller onto their CPU's and no frontside bus, meaning that as a general rule, if the CPU is the same socket type as the motherboard it'll work.
