Was about to comment on it only having 512MB of memory in it, but then noticed the special offer (runs out 4/1/2006) of 1MB upgrade for free......also, if it was going to be a serious gaming-machine (which, I'm assuming, since it's going to be for your Mum, it's not going to be), I would have mentioned that integrated graphics isn't a good idea - should be OK, though, if it's not going to be used for serious gaming.
