  1. Sounds good to me for that price.  I'd purchase a new 3D Graphics card though if you plan to do any gaming on this machine.  Built in graphics usually can't handle the load of games or 3D heavy programs.  Also, that 256MB of memory for the integrated graphics card actually comes from the 4GB of RAM you have installed.


  2. its ok, but for a hundred you can get a laptop. since your not gaming on this.. I would do that.
