Acer Aspire 5738.

But I think it has Intel 4500MHD.

But if you can extend to something around 34k, then Dell Inspiron 14. *www1.ap.dell.com/content/topics/to...ron-1464-s541207in8?c=in&cs=indhs1&l=en&s=dhs

^^That looks good with core i3- 350 upgrade.

Can you provide me a good config with atleast 3GB RAM and processor >= core i3-350. Budget is ~40k (can be extended to reasonable limit). :)

How is the support for linux as the graphics core is ATI. Can I turn it off as cor i3-350 has built in graphics support ?
