IMNSHO avoid anything with intergrated anything like the plague!! As soon as you start getting involved with intergrated things you run into propietary software, which doesnt play well with anything made by anyone else. If I were you I would go with something made by Gateway. I have gotten their stuff before and it is TOTALY upgradeable. Also if it comes with an OS they send you the OS install disk as well. Some companys just ship a backup disk so if you ever get a new HD or have to format your old one you are up a creek.

I could build the exact same pc for around $600.00. I think it's a horrible deal. Integrated graphics are worthless. If you do go with a Pentium pc, make sure that the chip they give you is the Northwood core. Usually the processor has an A or a B designation after it meaning that it is. The Northwood P4's have twice the L2 cache as the Wilamette's did before them.
