Tom, If you get a PC like that I think you'll be sorry. I'm a Mac guy too but use PC's at work and my wife does a lot of graphics so we've both been dragged kicking and screaming into PC Land. The Windows operating system is so large, so complex and so bloated that it takes an enormous amount of power just to run the OS. So.....32 megs of ram is totally inadequate. 128 megs is more like it. 300 megahertz is not bad but 500 is better, although RAM is more important than speed. You need lots of Hard Drive space too! My current hard drive on my Mac at home is 5 gigs whereas at work I have a 10 gigger and its almost full and I don't do graphics! I doubt I'll be the only one with free advice and I bet the general tone will be more RAM. Richard Shilling RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
