Inspiron 6400 / E1505 with ATI X1400 video and 1680x1050 widescreen. 2
GHz Duo Core 2, 2 GB RAM, Intel wifi, 80 GB 7200RPM hard drive.

The video has been a problem with every distro that I've installed,
with the exception of FC6 and Ubuntu Feisty. I've got an Ubuntu Gutsy
disk in there now, trying to sort itself out. F7, OpenSuse 10.3, and a
few other fell on their faces with that ATI card.
