Default Re: desktop to go with Dell 24\"

ty Beavis and kero.

There's an option for a 256MB card w/ two vgi outputs for an extra $150, so I'll probably get that. I may opt for an additional monitor at some point.

PROCESSOR Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor E6550 (4MB L2 Cache,2.33GHz,1333 FSB) edit
OPERATING SYSTEM Genuine Windows Vista® Home Premium edit
MONITOR 24 inch UltraSharp™ 2407WFP Widescreen Digital Flat Panel edit
MEMORY 1GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 667MHz- 2DIMMs edit
HARD DRIVE 320GB Serial ATA Hard Drive (7200RPM) w/DataBurst Cache™ edit
OPTICAL DRIVE 16X DVD+/-RW Drive edit
VIDEO CARD 256MB NVIDIA GeForce 8600GT-DDR3 edit
SOUND Integrated 7.1 Channel Audio edit
KEYBOARD & MOUSE Dell USB Keyboard and Dell Optical USB Mouse edit
FLOPPY & MEDIA READER No Floppy Drive Included edit
MODEM & WIRELESS 56K PCI Data Fax Modem edit

Total is $1209 after coupons, but the monitor alone is worth ~$600, so it's basically a $600 system. I could downgrade the CPU to a 2MB 2.00 GHz to save $100, but I'm not really on a budget and the 4MB 2.33 GHz seems significantly better (what exactly does the 2MB or 4MB do?)

Finally - how strong a power supply should all this require? It doesn't say what is included with the system, but I will ask support tomorrow.

Thanks again!
