Strip the HDD down to pay for it if you have to, or sacrifice some monitor inches if you really must. But you need that RAM and the graphics card. XPpro is not truly essential I guess, but it is a very nice operating system.

If I were you id get a AMD XP series processor - they perform equivalently to P4s (my figures are old so Im not going to give numbers) but cost far less.
I would but it just won't work in my price range. The lowest I got it went up $300 from about $2 300 to about $2600 including monitor strippage. And the only thing other than Geforce 4 MX was Geforce 4 Ti which jumped up the price approx. $150, and 512MB ram jumped it up as well.
