Well of course so does my P2 350, but if to buy a P4 today that means little.

yeah I agree you dont need a fast computer at all for the things you want to do, you could probably get one from dell for $500 and it would be MORE than eneugh for all the things you stated. Digital/Analog(CRTvsLCD) - its really just a preference thing. digital costs more and has worse quality on average but its small lightweight and looks cooler haha its up to you..
