I currently have an old Dell with a 1GHz (?) P-III, 512MB RAM.  It's got 
a nice 1440x1080-ish screen and runs Ubuntu OK, but it's slow enough 
launching Evolution and Firefox and surfing generally that my wife 
complains.  So I need less modest than that.  I think RAM is the big 
thing that'll help, but a faster processor would be nice too.  Disk is 
essentially irrelevant.

She doesn't need pixel-melting 3D graphics or anything, just snappy 
response for basic email & surfing.
