Perhaps with a bigger/faster computer MemEx may be the better option. But my parents had decided that they wanted something new for their Internet and Email; so basic was going to be good enough.
Now if anybody would like to prove me wrong; this is what we need:
- Core 2 Duo 3.0 Ghz 1333 bus
- 4 GB RAM
- > 500 GB hard drive
- DVD-RW/ Blu-ray-ROM combo drive
- Onboard video/audio is OK
- SD card reader
- Windows 7 64 bit Home

All items in stock MemEx and price matched at accepted stores by MemEx.
MemEx isn't cheap, they have a virtual monopoly in this town and have higher prices than other stores in Canada, so you should always price match what you can at Memory Express. Believe me, I am no fan of that store (friend claimed workplace sexual harassment by managers), but we have little choice in Calgary for the convenience of pick-up and easy returns/service.
