This is like the one that office depot has except they have a 50 rebate: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8773213&type=product&id=1203815923362
But, for $100 more, you can get this: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8773268&type=product&id=1204331806787 Its dual core, has about twice as much memory and hard drive, and it has vista home premium. Worth spending the extra $100 for? As I said before, I think if I did get something like this I would wipe everything off and install my own XP instead of keeping the vista. What do you all think? Normally, I would know all this stuff, but I haev not been keeping up with things lately. > If you don't game or use your box for Photoshop or a handful of other > apps, there is no reason to use Windows.
