I think from your previous machine you know not to overload the system too much with programs running at once or things stored on the hard drive. The same thing still applies with one that is miles ahead. If you intend to use Ubuntu more than Windows that should be less of an issue (but I could never get Debian or Fedora to work over dialup. Now that I've changed my mouse, the cursor doesn't work now :/ )
Raks is considering building a computer himself with his brother's help as his laptop's getting on a bit, he might fill you in on this :)
