Cool it. Both of you sound like little children squabbling.

I doubt you could really do much with $200. With $250, this is what I came up with.

Thats about $250. Im afraid thats the cheapest you will be able to find. Go get yourself (or your grandma) a copy of Windows 2000 (which is freeware now). I doubt she will mind the dated OS. Thats the only way you are going to keep this <$300.

You could get 2 gigs of ram for $10 more if you want
