If find it quite tempting to buy a new 32 bit processor when I find that
Dell are doing systems complete with 15" flat screen monitor and printer
for 239 GBP, *including* delivery and VAT.

Even if it's complete crap I find it amazing they can do it for that
price.  Are they about to do a Time Computers do you think?
