I bought a Dell Vostro 1500 when it was on sale, $600 + $40 tax. I'm intending to use it for hs/college; homework, no music (gets streamed to my P3 server with E-MU 0404), maybe playing Halo 1 PC, and watching 720p - 1080p clips. I intend to keep this thing about 2 years then upgrade to a Mac.
Specs...
1.46 GHz Core 2 Duo 2MB cache
1GB Ram (I was planning on getting 4GB, should I? I'm using 1.7GB now...)
15.4" WXGA Truelife (getting a 24" soon)
128mb 8400gs
160gb 5.4k
DVDRW
Wireless G (getting N later only if needed)
XP Home ordered with it but I'm keeping it for backup as a I have a copy of Vista Business 32 and dual boot with Ubuntu64.
So am I alright? Should I opt for the 4GB for $150?
