You need Hard Drive space for photos not "memory". Look for as big as possible for the money. If it runs Vista, which it probably will nowadays, you really need 2gb of memory. What sort of games do you play though?
Acer are no more rubbish than anyone else to be honest. You'll find stories of good and bad from all manufacturers these days. My advice - go into PC world and have a look, lift them up for weight, try typing - and then check out the prices on the internet and go back only if pc world is cheaper.
