I personally have this computer, except with the 80GB hard drive, a superdrive ( cd burn/dvd burn), and a gig of ram.
At a glance, that sounds good, but it's a small amount of outdated RAM, a video card from like 3 years ago, and a tiny HDD. You can get a similarly equipped PC for about half that price. If you spend the same money, you can get a system with much more and a AMD 3200XP+. That is no myth.
