Oh yeah, my goal in life is to have a better computer than you.

I'm just happy because I'm upgrading from my crappy dell.

Indeed.

Another great thing is that I'll be able to sell my old RAM and graphics card. Last I checked, NewEgg was selling a brand new GeForce4 MX 440 PCI for around $50. I figure since mine is used, I could just drop it to $40 or so and sell it for that. Not sure how much I can get for the RAM though...
