So what is it you're gonna be doing? You're not Lloyds bank are you?

I get this every day "It needs to be fast" why? its a sales pitch blind alley 
true if you want to play Tomb raider on it then speed is an issue.

Most Businesses can get away with
PII 500
128MB
6GB
10/100

All they need is the ability to write and read some letters do quotations, 
display some images and maybe do a powerpoint presentation.

Now thats bad for me because then I couldn't sell over priced over spec'd 
machines to companies that could mange with what they've got.

I'm talking about general businesses, once you start getting into the area of 
specialisation its a different ball game.
