Ok, that's good food for thought, thanks. I have had two Gateways, but I bought them back when to company made them to order, like Dell. Sadly, I learned a few months ago that Gateway no longer offers this service. They all must be bought in stores, pre-configged...
The Dell I set up on their webpage has 4GB RAM, and comes with WinXP and a free upgrade to Vista.

Zach, thanks for the i7 core info, I don't think this PC has that option, I'm checking now. I wish I could build one, thanks for the offer of help, just don't have time.
I've completed the order info, and am sitting here looking at the Submit Order button....:rotfl:
