512mb DDR RAM
Geforce 3 Ti200
60GB hard drive

getting it this month
and i might pay extra to get it as 1.8ghz instead of 1.7ghz<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>


That Athlon 1700 XP is NOT a 1.7 Ghx processor. THey do that to make their chips look faster to the common buyer(the common buyer will see a higher number and assume it is better, even though a 'less' Ghz Athlon can out perform a 'higher' Ghx Pentium).

I think the 1700 is a 1.4 ghz.
