look at dabs.co.uk. we've bought a laptop for £780, called Compaq Evo N1015v AMD Ath XP 2000 XPP. its got a 1.67 Ghz processor, 256Mb, DVD-ROM, CD-RW. Its a really good buy, so might be worth looking there.

for that amount of money look at packard bell(NEC) I had one but was only 128mb but 2.0ghz celeron processor it also had dvd ad that was £899 from pc world but they always have good deals so you mnay get some thing better for the amount of money you have.
