Pretty nice, getting it for games I presume...

That's good stuff, but don't be surprised if it's hot as hell and louder than a jet engine :O

Oh I dunno, mine's close to those specs, but with a faster chip, and an AMD to boot (hotter) and it's really not all that loud, even when I do something intensive and both fans kick into high gear.

I would try to get a better screen. XGA, if i can recall, is only 1024x768.

well i got this today via ups. And i must say so far i am impressed. the only thing i dont like atm is all the stupid dell windows shit....i wish i could take a windows xp home cd and use my dell windows home code w/o needing to buy a new license. Anyone know if its possable to do that.

Nother thing that supprised me was duel monitor capability. Also nice svideo port on the back. I pluged it right into my TV and stuck a DVD in and right there perfect looking DVD on my TV.

Its not loud at all. Alittle heavy but not noisy. Im going out and buying a wireless access point or router to plug into my network so i can be wireless with it around the house.

I must say so far i realy like it.
