Yeah it comes with both. Anyway I thought all processors since about 2003 could handle 64bit?

AMD started the ball rolling in 2003 and intel join in 2004. So to be sure late 2004 you would expect all processors to be compatible.
Full retail version come with both but upgrades and academic version nly seem to ship with one or the other.

Not everything made from 2004 (by Intel anyway) is x64 compatible. I got mine new in 2006 and it doesn't support x64. And that's dual core too.

Interesting, a £100 pc that will run Windows 7 at a decent speed....

Older pcs will require pc2100/2700/3200 and memory for those is still quite expensive compared to the newer pcs. (Thank heavens for Vista)
So i'd recommend looking for something quite fresh. If it's not the quickest at the moment you have the capacity to add more cheaper memory later.
