If you plan on using it for gaming, no, but if it's for school/bullshit then yes. But it couldn't hurt to get an upgrade to 1 gig of RAM. Of course, that is if it's an option.

A RAM upgrade from 512 to 1 gig should only be about 50 bucks at the most, but if you can't do it, then don't. Yeah, it's not bad for being 600 Canadian. That's like what, 525 American?

Id wait until late 2006/early 2007 to upgrade.
The new nVidia GeForece 8 series, AMD processor compatible with AM3 socket, and Windows Vista will be comming out soon, If u can't wait, buy it

vista is only the most secure on codecs. security wise its about good as good as thier updates. (if you dont understand updates=purely crap). besides, their requirements arent worth it and from the talk of thier "special requirements" for programs, it makes it less worth it.

Its okay. It can probably play BattleField 2 on low quality. What games do you play? You should really build one.

Its mainly because it doesnt say if it has a pciexpress slot. Even then wasting another $100 wouldnt be good.
