The basic Dell PC would be good enough to do what he wanted. I would get at least 512 MB of Ram. What is available for internet service in his neighborhood? Cable is usually a little faster then DSL but if the speed isn't the worry, I would just get DSL as it is usually a little cheaper.

Do you have a lot of music and/or videos downloaded on your PC? That will take up space galore...

They stay out of the help board because they are to dumb to know anything about PC's. There are 2 or 3 of us that give the hell every chance we get which is quite often. How are you
