Depends on the CPU, the one Neil linked to is the new ATOM based one.

Re original question. Looks OK as a basic computer, don't expect to play 3D games on it though as teh Gfx chipset is rubbish.

TBH you should start considering what tuning you can do of the system when you get it. By turing off lots of useless stuff that starts by default you can make quite a difference to teh responsiveness of it. ( deja vu as this is what we used to do 10 years ago, To give XP its due it was decently tuned out the box, Vista has progressed us back 10 years IMHO)
