a New PC!

Considering how new it is, that computer may even have an expansion slot for a graphics card, whether it would be a 1x PCIe, 16x, or an AGP (doubt it..).

There many other HP systems I highly recomend a Media Center type system it will give many really good things to view.

This is the system I bought three Months ago it's been passed quickly by the new systems but it's price has dropped a lot and it's still a really good system for everyday use.

I bought mine at a Comp-USA store but many stores carry them.

Unless you plan on buying a lot of new 64bit software for your system the older Intel D processors will still give you a quality computer.

Even if you are a gammer unless your games are the new 64bit games having a 64bit system will offer you nothing the older Intel D system offers.

Keep in mind soon there will be the new Quad processor's so each Month brings a new group of processors.
