Well, I found something that I just dont think I can beat for the price...

Sure, the brand might be a bit iffy, but look at those specs and then look at the price. Ive been doing some research on it, it seems to get great reviews everywhere, and I like the fact that its got a dedicated graphics card, and has 1 gig of ram, but only uses one of the slots, so its easily upgradable to 2 Gigs if I want.
Although I am looking into the dells now that you mentioned it, although I hate the idea of getting a dell.
