Dual Core E2160, 2GB, 250GB

to previous poster---this price does not include a monitor---read the words buddy.

can't speak 2 the quality issue---only time will tell. But, this is a very nicely equipped computer 4 the price. the 2 gb memory is just what you need, as 1gb is not enough 4 vista. only two memory slots, so although this computer will take 4 gb of ram, you'll have 2 get rid of the two 1gb mem modules & replace with 2 2gb modules if you think you need 4 gb (you don't).

several pci slots open in case you want a decent video card (this is not a gaming machine).

i installed a $35 wireless card---other than that, what do you need?

an even better deal is the acer AM1640U1401A 4 about $259 2 $270 at circuit city with free shipping. add 2 gb memory & a wireless card 4 about $90 & you have the same as an Aspire M1640-ED2160A 4 less money. (CC is currently out of the computer, as they sold out in one day---if they get 'em back, go 4 it.)

i never got my damn screen with it what the hell is going on
