A 1GB ram is not that bad, depends what you use your computer for. I have
1.256GB and my computer runs fine... I have trouble at times keeping up with
it :o) and... I use Photoshop and PaintShop which are real memory hogs and
they both run beautifully. If you do games, then probably you may need
more... but its getting to the point that we will need more RAM in our
brains to keep up with the computers!!! :o)

The reason your computer you have now is so slow is the 1GB.
Why buy a new one? Why not increase your RAM Memory to 4 GB if
your Motherboard will allow it.
This would probably be less expensive than the cost of a new
machine. I have 2 GB and I can make movies easily. The problem
I run into when using programs like Terragen is the rendering is
slow. That's why I want to increase mine up to 4GBs. With 250
GBs of hard drive, I still have over 80 percent free. And I
have loads of photo editing, movie edition and other software on
it.
Next time I get a new machine, I'll have my tech person build it
so I get all the great things I need for half the price of what
I paid for this machine. At least I know he won't build it
wrong like Gateway did with my (2) 250 GB Sata Drives biting the
dust at the same time because they were set right on top of each
other with no air flow between them.

Hi Don,
Yes, I was wondering about the memory and whether I could even
later upgrade
to more memory on it. I did not realize the vid card used the
system
memory. And I was thinking of a DVD burner . I am not sure
about what the
+ or - is or DL but I have been creating, saving, and editing
movies alot
lately which brings me to the realization as of late how much
space my
editing programs are taking up, unbelieveable it seems to me!
That is maybe
one reason my computer is so slow too, it probably uses lots of
memory also.
I have 1 GB now. I dont "have" to get a Dell. I do have one
now, so far is
okay. My other computer was from best buy and I loved it until
it crashed
out recently. I had had it quite a while. It was a VPR Matrix.
I just do
not want to walk in not knowing what I need to know and want to
a local
store. I would also like to buy some sort of external hard
drive for extra
storage. I will be working alot with movie editing though and
photos so
prob need to really consider for those areas.
