You might pick up a 256 - 512 MB RAM stick to go with it. Check what kind you need at www.crucial.com, and use their price as the limit on what you should pay.
Note this has almost zero gaming power, except for web flash games.

As DaveSimmons suggested, I would upgrade the RAM.
512MB for $40 shipped giving you a total of 768MB or sell the original 256MB on eBay/Craigslist for ~$25.

The ultimate bargain laptop would be a Pentium-M, 512MB, 40GB, combo DVD-CD-RW, WiFi for $499 with free shipping.
I would be willing to bet we will see something like that this BF, though it will probably come with 256mb of DDR only. An easy upgrade gets you very decent, very cheap laptop.

What about this laptop???

HP Pavillion 410
Seems to be a better deal; I would have to drive 1/2 hr, but is it worth the drive?
