The specs on this old machine are:
ASUS A7V266-E mother board
AMD Duron 1.2Gig processor
785 MB Ram
20Gig Hard drive (yes you read that right)
Philips CDRW drive 24X
Mitsumi CDRW drive (can't remember the speed, it was free from Elder George)
On board sound
NVIDIA RIVA TNT2 Model 64 video card
Windows 2000 svc pack 4
15" monitor
The new one is a Dell. Yes, some say blah to Dell, but they had the best price because I wasn't in the mood to build one this time, sorry Sticks.

Some had suggested a larger monitor. Our computer is in a hutch. We do have room for the 20" but I didn't want to wait the 2 weeks extra it would take. It will be a big enough difference to get the 19". I will purchase whatever software I need later. Office 2007 home and student most likely.
Thanks for the validation those who validated. I do appreciate it.

Well, mine is a little better than your old computer, but it ain't by much.
it was the iTunes that pushed us over on things. This pig has been slower than cold tar. It was time..
the only real concern i had with it would have been the india tech support. they are hard to understand. but what tech support can you understand now anyway? they are all outsourced to other countries
That is awesome though. your pc rocks mine!
Yes, Jeremy has the experience in dealing with the India tech support. When Alan had to be at work and couldn't sit on hold anymore with ours it was Jeremy who saved the day to talk with them. Thanks Jeremy. Glad you bit the bullet Steve. Your life will be so much better.
Vision Computers advertises that they don't have india tech support. They are a sponsor on the Neal Boortz radio show. But I can't afford a computer from them.
So...is the little beauty there yet?
I would love a fully decked out Alienwawre Desktop...But that won't happen either. Oh well. I'm just glad I have one!
it doesn't ship until around the 13th. so we should have it by the 20th.. depending on where it ships from. if I would have done it about 3 days before, I'd probably have it by now...
I'm soo jealous
