ok the ROM is 1GB - there are some other figures with it but i guess this is the one you want.
Ok this next bit relates to the processor - might just as well be Japanese but here goes

I hope thats what you want. Can i go to the top of the class now for answering 5 out the 6 questions. Can i least be teachers pet for the day. Oh go on. You can have the apple my horse didn't eat this morning. its fine - whats a bit of horse spit between friends. |

1)15"
2)Laptop
3)Whatever is standard
4)Broadband
5)1MB
6)Intel Pentium something or other
7)Seem to remember them saying something about 2GB
8)Explorer
The only problems I have encountered relate to too many or too large sig pic meaning I have to scroll back and forth to read, Also when people don't resize pics they can take some time to load before your resizer thingy kicks in.
Banners etc are fine.
