Bob, It is a Dell Inspiron 530 with a Q8200 processor with quad core technology runing Windows XP Pro SP3. It has 4GB of ram. AMD Radeon HD3450 PCI-Express video card. It has a separate 1394a plug in firewire card but I do not know the manufacturer or chipset. I am running 2 monitors. The computer is not my main computer and is dedicated to the radio operations only radio related software.. Logging, digital, etc.
