I don't much like messing with PCs, to be honest... This one will be fairly stable, I think. It's got another 2 ram slots, which should be sufficient I think. I'm not overly converned about drives for the moment either, it comes with a DVD/CDRW combo and like I say, 80gb is huge compared to what I'm used to. Though I appreciate the thought.

So with the Dual Core... I suppose my 2 real concerns are which is better for games right now (since that's all I need the power for, really) and which will be better for games in, say, a year. This isn't solely a gaming machine, but nothing else I'll use it for will be all that demanding.
