it is better you go for compaq system and you become tension free. in compacq not required 1GB ram. 256 MB ram of compaq = 1 GB ram of assembled.

You should build the computer yourself. You can get many parts that you need from garage sales and the like. The parts that I would still buy would be: ATX Case w/power supply (nothing fancy now, just a case w/400 watt power supply), a CPU, a Motherboard, a SATA 250GB-300GB HDD for security reasons, a OEM copy of Windows XP Pro ($140). Unfortunately, CPUs are expensive! You'll have to save your pennies for that!  DVD/CD drives can be found on most recent computers at garage sales. Just ask them if the CD or DVD drives are working. Strip the memory out of the old ones too, it may work in your build. There is usually a sticker on the memory that gives the info on it for that stick. If you put it yours just make sure that it is the right type for the mobo and CPU. This could become a family project, have the kids help you out! They have lots of friends looking to rid themselves of old computers. You can make use of those parts! Go to the library and borrow books on how to build computers. There are a lot of them out there! Shop at Newegg.com on the weekends for parts, they have weekend sales on new parts every weekend. This isn't going to be a $200 computer, but it WILL be what you want! You also can buy parts as you can afford them, and there's no finance charges on cash!

Tigerdirect is good for barebones systems to start with or go with maybe buy.com... They usually have good deals. Make sure the board is PCI-E capable for the latest graphics cards... AGP is going away.

Gotta agree w/ The Expert for the most part, except...\n\nAs a system builder and semi-high end user, I always recommend that a buyer go w/ "custom" built system assembeled by a local trustworthy shop...The reason for this is you will get pretty much exactly what you want for your specific needs, will easily be upgradable in the future, service will get done quicker, and you're putting $$ in the pocket of a local merchant instead of a corporate entity...\n\nThat being said, think about this...Spend most of your money on the things you're going to keep over the long haul...Like a monitor, speakers, etc...A monitor is like a TV when you buy it...You're going to be keeping it for a LONG time... Same thing goes w/ speakers...\n\nJust remember, a Brand Name system has built-in obsolensece, which is fine if you're just gonna surf the Web and read e-mail like yer Grandma does, whereas a "built" system can be upgraded many times for a LOT less than what you'll spend for a new system down the road...I have a system case that  I've had for over 7 years, and have upgraded 4 times....  \n\nWhile you might pay a little more for a "built" unit, just remember that things like your video card, sound card, network card, CD/DVD, and Hard Drives won't need to be replaced, so that all you have to do is just get a new mobo/CPU, and RAM, and yer good to go....

Get a dual core CPU\nI don't like the case\nI don't like the power supply\n\nGo to this forum to get some great help and advice on your build before plunking down the $$$

What do you mean by write configuration?\n\nI would consider any Dell Lcd as they are very good quality, and offer good performance for the dollar.

Is your power supply up to the task? it doesn't sound like it. Here is a list to help you decide.\n                   Power supply requirements\n\ncomponent                                                    Wattage\nMOBO------------------------------------------------ 15 to30\nLow end CPU--------------------------------------- 20 to 50\nMid to HI end CPU--------------------------------- 40 to 100\nRAM ---------------------------------For each 128mb--7\nPCI cards-------------------------------------------- 5 to10\nLow to mid graphics cards------------------------ 40 to 60\nHi End graphics cards----------------------------- 60 to 100\nHDD--------------------------------------------------- 10 to 30\nCD and DVD drives--------------------------------- 10 to 30\n Add all of your components and compare to your power supply.you need about 50 to 100 watts more than your components use.

Depends on what you mean by configuration and what you are using it for. If you mean hardware config then the second is a must know. If it is OS config then it depends on personal preference and what you are doing with it.

Support.dell.com has diagrams of the components, but they will not give you the design plans (which is what I think you are looking for)

The best way to find out that info is to go to accessories, system tools, system information, then + sign next to components then click on display. You'll get what you want and much more.

You don't ask for much do you? LOL.. \n\nThat depends a great deal on what you want to do. I strongly recomend moving up to a more modern distro. You are welcome to YM me and I can walk you through the configurations. Trying to do a tutorial on this would take forever, however the Linux Howto page has a tutorial on all of these topics and most Linux howto's are very good.

You'll need a computer case, motherboard, cpu, cpu fan, cd/dvd drive, hard drive, memory, video card, keyboard, mouse, monitor and operating system software.  Below are links with instruction and places to purchase all of these components. It can take about 4 hours from start to finish.\n\nAsus motherboards are very good\nAMD Athlon 64 processor\n256mb PCI-xe videocard\n1gb memory\nDVD&#92;CD burner\nWindows XP
