I'm going be soon getting a PC this will be the first one(I'm currently using a
Atari ST) and was after a bit of advice as to requirments(speed with regards
WWW especially). I'm going to be using it for Internet including WWW, Word
processing, Home finance planning, Spreadsheets.  I've been looking around the
shops and have seen some good prices in ES COM and the details below are for one
I'm interested in.

ESCOM P100
Intel 100MHz Pentium Processor
1Gb Hard Drive
8mb RAM
3.5'' Floppy drive
1Mb PCI Video Card with MPEG Software
14'' NI Monitor
Mini Tower Case
Quad Speed CD ROM
16 Bit Soundcard & Speakers
12 Months On-site warranty

Price �1249.99

Does this sound capable of the job ? Could I go for something smaller ?

Any veiws/opinions or comments apreciated.
