AMD Athlon 64 X2 TK53
2GB Ram
160Gb HDD
DVD Writer
nVidia Go6100
15.4" WXGA High Definition BrightView Widescreen

Which of these would be a good option you think? Are there any others worth looking at instead? Will only really be used for Wireless Internet, Streaming some .AVIs and basic stuff... They are generally over specced for that but something that wont need to be replaced for awhile would be nice and while you can drop some spec on the Dell machines there doesnt seem to be many other options with the HP ones.

I have the HP G6031EA  (Difference is the 31 only has a 120Gb HDD).  Actually a nice little machine.  Ive just XPd mine to play games on, but it ran OK with Vista.  The Turion chips arent considered very good, but im getting 2.5 hours or more under XP, and was getting about 2 hours under Vista on battery.  Better than my mates intel based Inspiron by a mile.
