    build my own, but I bought Dells for the kids. When they need a specialty PC then we can discuss it - lol

    FWIW I am not anti-mac, certainly if you create video then a good argument could be made for the mac especially vs an out of the box PC.

    If you are looking for a Windows PC:

    -AMD Athlon 64 X2 or Intel Core2 Duo processor at 2GHz or more (AMD is a better $ value)
    -At least 1 GB of RAM, 2GB if you plan to do a lot of gaming or photo/video editing
    -Something better than onboard graphics if you plan to do any gaming

    Everything else is up to you (i.e HD space, display size, etc)

    Brand doesn't matter as long as it isn't Compaq

    They simply have no idea what they're talking about. I can understand if Ryan has concerns about his programs not crossing platforms. But if you're starting from scratch, Mac smokes PC in desktop publishing eg Photoshop etc. Those programs were made for Mac..
    I run a Mac Pro with quad 2.66 Dual Core and I run Pro Tools flawlessly with no latency or crash issues. In the past I tried to run PT on the fastest Dell PCs and they all lagged and crashed regularly..
    The choice depends on what you wanna do with your system.

    The Dell XPS 410 looks good. We are leaning towards that.

    The catalog says...

    Intel Core 2 Duo Processor E6600 at 2.40GHz
    Genuine Windows Vista Home Premium
    20'' Widescreen Flat Panel
    2GB Dual Cahnnell DDR2 memory
    320GB* Hard Drive
    ATI TV Tuner

    And an Optional 500GB hardrive upgrade for 100$ extra.

    So is that good?

    If you don't plan on running a cable to the TV tuner, you can leave that out.

    The XPS 410 is fine.
