If you can, threaten the cat & go for 16MB.

> 1Mb PCI Video Card with MPEG Software

Which, you may want to pay 30ukp for a quicker one.
Others will tell you if this is a sticking point.

Forget the ram, still do the cat and go for a 15" unit.

Mainly go for a better monitor than the standard offerings.
You may want to see if there's a 6x CD-Rom and what the difference
is in price (ie, it might be 15ukp or something daft).
