Default Re: desktop to go with Dell 24\"

Definitely go with the Core 2 Duo, how fast is a matter of budget, but anything labeled C2D will be fine.

I have seen some benchmarks that show that going over 1GB of ram doesnt help most benchmarks even on Vista Ultimate but I like 2GB.

The problem with on-board graphics is that you usually only get a VGA plus and you want a DVI.

That 8300 card appears to be ultra low end, how much are you paying for it?

If you want to save money I would say get a 7300 series or a 7600.

if this is a built system sure, it will do the trick for you. If you want to play games you should probably upgrade it to the 8600 though.
