Critique of a future possible Sleekness? (looking at a new computer)
Mirelly:
Unless you have an external drive (that you use regularly) to back up your files, a single 1TB drive is asking for trouble. These massive drives look shiny but at $599 all-in for a system it ain't gonna be no top o' the range model. Failure would be catastrophic if you had no recent back up to restore from. I prefer to operate with a pair of hard drives, so that total failure of one cannot cause total data loss. If the drive with the OS and data fails then the drive with the program files and the back-ups can restore everything when the failed drive is replaced. Failure of the other merely calls for a replacement and a bit of reinstallation.
As for the integrated graphics ... depends on how much of the RAM it can use. Remember that (theoretically) Vista 64 bit can access more than 4GB of RAM ... can more memory be added to that motherboard? Argon is correct about the cheapness of graphics cards, most of which have DDR3 memory: faster = better (probably?)

What do laurels mean? ??? Do you get those in a cereal box?
Laurels are the same as bayleaves. They add flavour to things, like soup.

And I don't think they don't want and dirty soupers actually enjoying their soup, so removal of laurels beforehand may sometimes be necessary. /further derail

See that blue circle of leaves under my name that says senator? Those are laurels. The more you know!

Laurels are one half of comedy duos, of which kikis are neither member.
I'll be taking the info to Blue. If we end up getting that computer, I'll be sure to set up a backup on a different HD (we'll have three computers at that point, two HDs on one) and look around for a better graphics card. We knew this would basically be our next base to build up on.
