DVD rom & CDRW (upgrade to DVD RW $75)
Nvidia 8400GS
Dual Gikabit Nic....? what's this ?
keyless wireless card...don't need that. but it's there.
Firewire and SATA ports
XP home SP 2

30 days support on hardware. I don't know what motherboard it's got but there's room for an extra vid card and it's got an nvidia sound card too.

I don't know the diff between XP pro and home virsions.

anyway...how's this sound to you guys ? seems like a good deal. I'd need to check on what DVD burner to have installed to be shure about dual layer support.
That is definitely a more reasonable price, but again, you can get better from Dell.

The videocard sucks and will NOT play Doom 3 and Quake 4 well. Dual gigabit NIC is simply two network ports on the PC that are gigabit capable (only useful on fully gigabit networks).
