Dave, One more thing, the PC Magazine article did also mention the slowness of the machine with the stock 128 MBytes of memory, and said that when they upgraded to 512 Mbytes (two 256Mbyte sticks of memory) the machine "became quite snappy". They also said "you would not mistake it for a Athlon 64 or an Intel P4." So for $40. more they said it became a quite capable office system, although noting that serious gamers would probably still be a bit disappointed. Then again, serious gamers spend way over 4000 USD for a machine.
