I may have copied the Memory information from the website wrong.  I made sure that I asked about the memory.   I was very specific that I wanted to be able to upgrade to 4 GIGS of RAM without having to replace the existing 2 GIGS that I'm getting.  I asked that a few times actually,  LOL    I was assured that I'm getting two (2) 1 GIG sticks and 2 slots will be empty so I can add 2 more sticks of 1 GIG if I want to.

I'm having a bit of a panic about the monitor.  My TV is 27" and it looks huge!  I'm not sure that the 24" monitor will fit on my computer desk because of the overhead shelf.  Thought it is flat panel so it won't have all that bulk behind it like the monitor that I have now. I think I will have to find a new place for my printer though, or turn it sideways.  Also I have been on a 17 inch monitor for so long that a 24 inch one is going to seem like IMAX to me,  lol

I did call last night to ask them to upgrade my hard drive to 320 GIGS instead of the 250 GIG one. I figured better to do it now than later and it was only $30.00 extra.  

Bad news about the graphic card though. I was getting the   1GB NVIDIA GeForce 7950 GX2 Dual-GPU Graphics Card but apparently due to compatiblity issues it's been discontinued.  So I'm getting the nVidia 7900  GS graphics card  that svdl recommended on page 2.

It's a nice machine thanks to all of the help and advice I got here :)  Thank you so much!  I'm so excited, even if it is a Dell, lol   He said i should have the computer by Friday next week, or Monday. It would have been Friday for sure except because I changed my mind about the hard drive it will delay it by one business day, but that's ok, so long as it arrives.

The first thing I'm going to do is dig out the camera and take a picture of it,  lol
