1. I wish you can just actually show the website with the computer n all
2. Hmms well definitely 2 hard drives wtf...why get better sound? sound is not nesscesity...Should upgrade memory to 4Gb isntead of 2 cuz running Vista will require 4 to get nice effect and graphic especially to go with ur graphics card...im not sure if u will need 2 8800 GT but if u have the money w/e go for it...If u can improve the processeor jus a bit ... only if u can it would be nice to have more than 2.4 GHz but not nessecity..^_^
3. Processor is bad.If you want a quad-core use Yorkshire or a Phenom!And you need 4 Gb of RAM
4. Yes its a good system, only try getting some more RAM as vista+new games are ram hogs id prefer a duo core than a quad core for gaming but thats just me
5. Don't waste ur time in reserches & all these thing chose any one of following Asus Essentio http://event.asus.com/desktop/cs5110/en/spec.htm Imac http://www.apple.com/imac/specs/
