I have finally decided on this.

Any last comments? All is appreciated, thanks for your patience.

I am buying this tomorrow

My one concern:

Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium Edition 64-bit

64-bit Windows has no support for the 32-bit drivers, which hinders most programs. This may also effect your games. Your graphics card says Vista capable, but make sure that it has a 64-bit driver.

Most compatibility issues have been solved. I've been on Vista 64 since mid-October plugging in a wide variety of peripherals and a 3-4y.o. sound card. Most devices were flawlessly plug-and-play. I was concerned about old games not playing, but while I get a lot of "This application has known compatibility issues" dialogues, I have yet to experience any such issues.

My only scare was when my PS2 mouse and keyboard weren't detected at first, but after a bit of plugging and unplugging the PS2 and USB ports and some restarts, the system noticed they were there.

>Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 3100
With up to 256MB shared graphics memory for quality video performance.

I would assume that's why he's adding the nVidia graphics hardware

only thing i would suggest is maybe building it yourself? You get a much better computer for the same $$$ if you do.

Even if you don't want to even buying the components and paying a local computer store to put it together would probably let you get more bang for your buck.
