I'll be using the comp. generally for media, photos, graphic design and manipulation and playing a few games on the side. I've heard graphics programs are hardware intensive and require a powerful processer, so I'm still debating whether it's worth paying a bit extra for a bit more RAM.

Get one gig if you are planing on doing huge photos, but otherwise you don't really need more.
I have Windows XP, I have 512 megs of RAM. I always have Norton Antivirus, Msn Messenger, Zone Alarm Pro, Winamp and various other toolbars apps open, and I can play games like Need for Speed Underground, Lineage II, Prince of Persia Sands of Time... With all setting to the max, and I get no problems.
But of course you might as well take extra RAM now if you can afford it, but it won't really get used.
My friend has that sound Card. He bought a Dell too. There's nothing wrong with it.
With the duo there would be two drive instead of one.
Refresh rate on flatscreens are usually 60 mhz.
