I am looking to buy a fairly basic PC for doing program development involving analyzing large amounts of stock market textual data. Very little graphic capabilities are involved although the application does make frequent calls to internet sites. I want a dual OS system including Windows XP & Linux Suse or Red Hat. So far, I have this configuration in mind: IBEXPCO ibexpc.com Bare bones system _________________ Standard Features:Multimedia Mid Tower ATX Case w/300 Watt Power Supply & 2 front USB 2.0 ports - Intel Pentium 4 2.66 GHz Processor - 128 MB PC2700 DDR Memory - 40 GB 7200 rpm Hard Disk Drive - 54X CD-ROM Drive - 1.44 Floppy Drive - 32 MB AGP Video - 3D Stereo Sound - 10/100 Ethernet - Keyboard - Scroll Mouse - 4 USB/1 Serial/1 Parallel/1 gaming ports - 1-year parts & labor warranty The above system is enhanced as follows: __________________________________________ CD-ROM/DVD/CD-Writer: 54X CD-ROM Drive - Default CD-RW/DVD-RW: No CD-RW Drive - Default HardDiskDrive-1: 40GB Hard Disk Drive 7200rpm – Default HardDiskDrive-2: 80GB IDE Hard Disk Drive 7200 rpm(+91.95) Memory: 768MB PC2700 DDR Memory(+128.95) Modem: USRobotics 56K V.90 Linux compatible hardware modem(+48.95) Monitor: 19-inch Monitor – 3 year warranty w/free ground shipping(+212.95) Operating-System: Dual boot - Red Hat Linux 9.0 & Windows XP Home Edition w/license&cd(+135.95) PowerSupply: 450 Watt Power Supply(+38.95) Speakers: No speakers - Default VideoCard: Built-in Intel 845 chipset video - Default Total 1120.70 free ground shipping plus tax _____________________________________________________ The vendor advertises installed LINUX PCs, both with or without Windows XP operating systems. Faster Intel and AMD processors are available. A better chipset is offered as is a better video card. I currently have a very nice 19 inch Sony A440 which is better than the monitor included. That monitor is described as .25. I would appreciate any criticism or advice. Thanks in advance. nine_usa
