   Welll, it sounds like you have been to the computer store and picked up one of everything off the shelf…LOL. Nice computer by the way!

   Here are my recommendations – unless you need a V92 modem because you cannot get DSL or Cable Modem, what are you doing buying this outdated, has-been PCI card? The only thing I can think of is that you want to scan and fax stuff, which is ok, if you have a land phone over your cable or DSL provider. That is the only thing that makes sense to me. So if you have cable or DSL, and you don’t care about faxing, I would drop that one out of your system and save the whole big $10 bill for it.

   If it were me, I would get TWO internal hard disks and just drop the external disk – why have an external unless you intend to take it with you somewhere, likeon the road? Just buy two serial ATA hd’s and make both of them internal.

   I would go with a Radeon HD 4850 or in your case, a Radeon HD 4870 card which is better than the one you are getting and has newer technology behind it.

   I would IMMEDIATELY dump AVG antivirus, it is a lousy antivirus program and instead, get either Kaspersky, Check Point Zone Alarm Security Suite or NOD32. AVG earned a lousy rating just this month in a Maximum PC Magazine security suite shoot-out comparing 10 antivirus programs. AVG came in at a lousy 5 on a 10 scale.

   If you are a student you are eligible for the ACADEMIC COPY of Microsoft Office 2007…I know, I have bought two copies, since I recently took a couple of Microsoft Certification Courses from a school, and it cost me about $85 on sale. You get the entire Office Suite with the ACADEMIC VERSION, including MS Access 2007, which the STUDENT and HOME editions do NOT have. Make sure that whomever is quoting this computer gives you the ORIGINAL DISK AND THE KEY for all software. DO NOT let them just load this in as an OEM dump and give you NO disk and NO key.

   Other than those things, I am thinking you have racked up about a $1200 computer here…mind telling me what the bottom line is on this one? Just curious. – email me, if you don’t mind.

   You have 4 Gb of Ram but the problem is that Windows Vista Home Premium 32-Bit is going to read only 3Gb of ram, so 1 gb is becoming useless. So if I were you I would go with 64-bit operating system and not 32-bit
