When you are ready to buy a new system, go to www.stupidcheapcomputers.net. I buy all of my stuff from them, and everything is Vista ready.
Microsoft is about to release its latest operating system, Vista, in January. It’s going to make all of these “bargain” computers nothing but JUNK as soon as it’s released. The reason that you are seeing so many cheap systems on the market right now is because a lot of them CAN’T RUN Vista and the merchants are trying to dump them as hard and fast as they can before Vista shows up and everyone learns what a piece of crap they were sold for $500 (or whatever).
Anyway, I bought a complete, new system from stupidcheapcomputers.net with a warranty for LESS than it would cost me to build it myself or order a custom one from the manufacturer. You can use my frequent buyer code: ATX926. That will get an additional 10% discount at checkout.
I have NEVER had any problems with anything that they have sold me and their customer service is outstanding. Those guys blow my mind.
Good luck!

in case you'll evaluate the speed of the three processors, AMD Turion X2 extremely ZM-80 2 2.4GHz will win. yet of direction, I study a piece of writing/evaluation from pcworld or pcmag(i forgot), they confirmed that Intel center 2 Duo is extra useful that AMD Turion X2 processors. so as which ability even a 2ghz intel can adventure 2.2ghz - 2.4ghz. i will bypass for an Intel center 2 Duo P7350 2.0Ghz

Overall the Intel duo is a better chip, however for the average college student the AMD is more than acceptable and is cheaper.

Wait for 6 more months. Then you can ask
Core2 Duo (quad core)
vs
AMD's quad core
both due out in mid 2007
