Alice,
I recently got a NEC SX from e-bay at 330$.
192MB Ram, 6GbHD, 14" LCD, Pentium II 366. It's a good one.
Instalation was OK, but I had to play around to get X working.
That is usually the most difficult thing to get running.
Use XF86Setup to configure it.
If it doesn't work, then yo
Check out www.linux-laptop.net. They have documentation (submitted by
users, mostly) about installing just about any distro on any model
laptop out there. It's a good site to peruse when you're looking for
info about how tricky a linux install might be on a particular model.

My Sony VAIO uses a NeoMagic NM2200 for the sound, and although I
don't have anything else to compare it to, I think the MP3 compression
