I'd rather have it an AMD 64-bit then the Intel.

Keyboard and mouse dont matter. I like the ones I got.

Same with LAN and modem.

I got a dvd burner so the optical drive doesnt matter.

Dell priced this at aroun $4,700 USD

That's one hell of a system though....
Probably about half that...give or take a few hundred of course
EDIT didn't see monitor, add a few more hundred lol
I'm guessing you could build it for probably 3,500 or so, maybe less

Why 4GB RAM?

Get 2GB of as high speed RAM as your motherboard supports.

ya, for sure.

I can just imagine in the future with like some future operating ysstem (longhorn 2? lol) people are trying to get support on their old athlon 64 pos processor (newest at that time will be 128bit, maybe 256 lol) and they read this forum and they&#39;re like WTF this stuff is shit what are they talking about.
Then they read my post and remember the good old days.
