Your thread had duplicate Mary so I deleted one of them for you.
What is your budget? The real game changer at the moment is to get something with a SSD to boot from, they are super quick. Quad core processor has to be the aim though at the least.

I've read a bit about ssd but don't quite understand 'what' it is. Haven't decided on budget, yet. The monitor is fine so that's a plus.

SSD is like a hard drive but has no moving parts so is more reliable and much quicker, but more expensive too. If you combine a small SSD with a larger capacity normal hard drive, you have it booting and caching from the SSD but using the hard disk for bulk storage, it is super quick.

So is the ssd like an external, separate drive? Or is it internal with the hard drive?
