Very good film, now available for free on Public Domain, the film can be downloaded on BitTorrent, but it's worth buying the DVD though, for only £3.97 and free UK delivery on Amazon.co.uk it's a very good bargain.

Fujitsu Siemens AMILO Pi 2515 - Budget Notebook
AMILO Pi 2515
The AMILO Pi 2515 is a good but basic all rounder, the video quality is a bit poor, however it is still an excellent all-around notebook equipped with an Intel GMA X1300 integrated graphics, so it is not a gamers laptop, but it can handle the golden oldies.
One thing that most tests leave out with budget notebooks are how well they can perform with older games, I've tested this laptop with Halo and GTA III, I wasn’t impressed but the games do work and are at a playable FPS, I haven’t benchmarked these games though, where it comes to anti-aliasing, you may as well forget it, and DirectX/OpenGL effects are a joke, it’s a case of just be grateful that it works.
2D Performance is where it’s at with this laptop, it handles very well with the basic 1GB that it comes with, though I will be upgrading to 2GB of RAM for my one though.
The cheapest price I found for this notebook was from www.tesco.com for £349.00, plus the added bonus of some clubcard points for your groceries [^_~]".
Bad points are that it only comes with 1GB of ram, despite Tesco stating that it comes with 2GB, reading the specifications sheet, it states it only has 1GB and video playback isn’t that great, a cheap upgrade of RAM to 2GB will improve performance, but modules are hard to find though, try Googling for 'Fujitsu AMILO 2515 DDR2 667MHz Memory' and see what turns up, another performance enhancing feature is to use the Flash Memory option in Vista, using the Vista ReadyBoost feature, just slot in a USB pen drive or SD Flash Card and enable the ReadyBoost feature by selecting the properties of the drive, select the ReadyBoost tab on the properties on the dialogue window and enable the feature then select how much Cache you want to use, you can use up to 4GB of Flash memory, which will Cache programs and files for faster access, you'll need a USB pen or SD Card greater then 256Meg for it though.

Very fast service too.
