5150 for just $529 which comes with a 17" LCD monitor! This is the offer that
I suggest that they wait for any time someone needs to stretch their money. It
features a 3.0Ghz Pentium 4 Processor 630 HT processor (previously a $50 upgrade),
256MB of DDR2 SDRAM at 533Mhz, bigger 80GB S-ATA 7200RPM hard drive, FREE upgrade
to 48x CD-RW/DVD Combo (a $50 value), integrated 7.1 channel audio, 10/100 networking,
Windows XP Home, and a 90 day warranty (and upgrading is cheap).
