Ted, thanks for the link indicating the difference between the Professional and Ultimate versions. And it’s great to know exactly what I’ll need to run RDSS version 2.0 seamlessly. I never would have thought too much about the display options. So, that’s a big help as well. I already have an external, portable, USB hard drive and I agree; it’s great. I’m weary of getting Office 2007 as I’ve been using Office 2000 for years and still haven’t tapped its full potential.

Houndog, I checked out that Toshiba and read all the reviews. I also poked around the site and checked out the pre-configured as well as customizable models. I’m giving the Toshiba serious consideration. Incidentally, I learned from those reviews that if you're going to buy a Toshiba get it directly from the source so you don't run into warranty problems when you purchase from a place like Best Buy.

Profiler8, I like Dells too. I’m kind of rough of them. So, I always go for the maximum warranty. I’ve gone through three hard drives under warranty (on different machines) and have never waited more than three days for a free replacement. That’s service.

Bill P, thanks for the Newegg and Micro Center tips.

Today I’m going to hit CompUSA and Best Buy and see what’s happening there.
