Janie -

The only really questionable spec is the "1 GB hard drive." That's just about enough for a "scratchpad" on a "modern computer." The 512 MB RAM is pretty good for a bargain computer, and should be enough if your needs are fairly modest. That's a "free upgrade" now but I don't find what the standard RAM is for this computer.

My quick-look at Dell indicates a standard 80 GB Hard Drive, which is enough to get you started. It is an SATA drive, which is good (it's a newer kind than most of us have). Many drives of this relatively new kind are being supplied with a piggyback "EPROM Drive" that acts as a drive buffer, and a 1 GB "flash drive" of this sort could be a possible add-on incorporated by the drive manufacturer, although half that is more common. I didn't find a detailed "spec" on the standard drive. (I've seen other PC builders confuse the "flash size" with the "disk size" in their specs.)

I don't see any real problems, given that you seem to have a pretty good idea of what you want from it.

(It does come std with a built in modem, if you're using dial-up; although I had to search some to find that.)
