you don't need 500ram to surf the web.... i use an older pentium3 laptop that has about 128mb of ram and it runs rather nicely or the web... i used to run photoshop7 and Flash MX, creating large movies and photoshops on it without any problem.... i now got a pentium4 laptop with a gig of ram sitting next to, and it doesn't exactly improve web surfing... if he isn't going to game, i don't see any real need for more than 128mb of ram and a pentium3... and if he is going to game, it's best to go all the way or not at all, having a middle level machine and struggling to get tweek game proformance specs isn't that fun
