I've decided to get a new PC because my laptop is just too shite to run ToB without the slowdown getting unbearable, also I don't think I'm getting the most value out of my DSL modem. What do you guys think of this config from Dell?

Comments and feedback would be appreciated! How upgradable would this system be in a couple of years time? Do you think that 16MB of video RAM is enough?
