hi,

I have a question which I hope someone can give me e good answer.
Recently, my computer died and the serviceman says the usual word: You
do not win by repairing this and it is better to get a new pc.
the only sertiouse requirement I have from a new pc is that it is good
for working with digital RAW files. The specifications suggests that
the new computer with 250 G HDD and 1024 ram and an Intel Core 2 duo
2.0 desktop seems to be good enough for me. My only question is about
the integrated garaphic card. the seller says it is very good and if
i want to get a seperated card it will cost me more than 150 US
dollar. shall I go for the integrated card or get a seperate one?
Shall I think about other specifications? The integrated card is
called: "onboard Intel GMa3000 256mb".

I hope I have given enough information.

best regards,

Mojtaba

Vista itself requires alot of ram, near 1gb , for the best detail a
1920 x 1200 monitor makes a big difference but then you need a video
card to support it. Dell has great deals on monitors I recently got
the 2407 which is 1920 x 1200 for under 600 US ( I bet it will be
priced lower in a week as the price jumps around alot). Get something
expandable 4 gb ram is something you might find you need in the
future.
