the box has this stuff inside.:
* AMD Phenom 9500 Quad Core Desktop Processor
* 3GB PC2-5300 DDR2 Memory
* 500GB 7200rpm SATA Hard Drive
* 16x DVD+/-RW Dual Layer Burner
* ATI Radeon X1250 Integrated Graphics
* AC'97 Audio
* Gigabit Ethernet
* Eight USB 2.0, One FireWire, 9-in-1 Card Reader
* Vista Home Premium, MS Works
I'm really glad it comes with a big hard drive.. i have collected 30 gig of
stuff in my hd since cp/m.
should be big enough for an elderly web surfer, right?
