  • Fancy the novatech partly because they are only a couple of miles away,it always gives me false security that I can go back easily if there is a problem.
    It does only have the 2 usb though :-(

    Thank you all again for your help :-)

    All truth goes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Then, it is violently opposed. Finally, it is accepted as self-evident.

    I do tend to need at least three USB's for mouse,card reader,printer etc...
    In which case buy a (usually 4-socket) unpowered USB hub from one of the pound shops.

    Or, better still, buy a mains-powered USB hub to guarantee that you're not trying to draw too much current from one of your laptop USB sockets (costs more, though!).

    Inspiron 1300 should still do the job but you'll need to have the full 2GB of RAM installed to make it reasonably fast.

    i was actually being sarcastic... bus speed is too slow, with 2GB (if supported) it would still sit and munch forever.
