What about this memory? "The only thing different from what you linked is, 1.5 volt or lower to stay within Intel specs, and it doesn't mean it will run slower." Is this just as good for my system as the memory you suggest as linked above...

So, is the memory I linked better or the one you linked? Exactly what would cause me to ever want to have more than 16GB of RAM for a non-gaming business machine?

Windows 7 Home or Pro? One more related thing about memory ... am I correct in saying that the only advantage to Pro for my application is that you are not limited to 16GB of memory, as you are with Home? If so, is that reason enough to fork up the extra $50 to get Pro?

Now that's the kind of info I needed ... what about this memory? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820104173

Thanks for the incredibly thorough and detailed analysis of my system quote, Benny Boy ... you guys never cease to amaze me. "The mb is on the cheap/lower quality side compared to your total investment/budget. ATX size is better and will fit the 300. For build quality it needs to be in the $120...

Yes ... I have the software we use in our business open on one monitor and surf multiple sites on the other ... saves me a lot of time over the course of a day not having to constantly minimize and navigate all that I do using one monitor, and time is money in my biz. Plus, I'm starting to play...

The PNY GeForce GT 430? Why do I not need it? I was told that it will run 2 monitors very well ... two engines or something ... plus, it's rated very highly at newegg.

Looks don't matter to me (heresy, I know) ... not a gamer and only care about durability and functionality ... I was told that the Antec was a tank, so I bit.

No question about computers is dumb to me...I'm the dumbest guy who posts here. :^) The UPS will give me a few minutes to shut down properly ... I work remotely from home using software on a server elsewhere and a power outage (we get quite a few) sometimes means I will lose a lot of work ...

Thanks for the GPU/CPU/et al computer lesson, jonnyp11 ... I may get a working knowledge of all this yet. What case would you recommend, then? I was under the impression that the Antec was the Cadillac of the industry.

How long have you had the old tower? 8 years ... Dell Dimension 4600 How many times did you use the warranty? Zero How many times did you call MS or anyone else for support? A handful How many times did you take it in for repairs? Zero Good questions all ... I get the point. Don't...

Believe me, I have done a ton of research on my own in addition to chatting with you guys and way more than I ever thought I would. Yes, they threw a system at me based on what I initially told them. However, most of the components of the most recent revised system are different than what they...

The board they quoted or the one I linked? It would be fine with the 2600 "non K" or the 2500K?

By GPU, do you mean the 2600K? MOBO = motherboard? The motherboard they quoted works for the 2600K? What size and brand of power supply do I need? Please feel free to talk down to me ... this is all somewhere between Greek and Spanish to me ... I speak none of the former and very little of...

Not to argue, but I figure about $350 based on newegg pricing ... I'm willing to pay that to have someone experienced build the computer and warranty it for 3 years ... plus, they have spent a considerable amount of time answering my questions and advising me, and I plan to use them to keep me...

OK, based on the recommendations here and a ton of research on my part and discussions with the maker of the software I use for business and an ongoing conversation with the computer shop, we've put together the following system for my home office: 1 Lonestar Intel i7 3.4GHz Workstation...

You guys are fricking awesome! Thanks to everyone who has chimed in on this post. You have given me a ton of great information, and the dabate has been enlightening. The youtube video helped a lot with my edification and the build list put together was very helpful in comparing the cost of...

This is the quote I got from the company that our IT guy works for ... it includes two 24" monitors and follows his recommendation for 32-bit and is based on the way I use my computer ... remote connection using WinTOTAL, no gaming, some photo editing and lots of photo storage, surfing the net...

"While there are some programs that do not work well with a 64 bit PC, Wintotal is not one of them. It makes no difference to Wintotal if its 32 or 64. I hope this helps you." This is the response I got from a tech guy at alamode, who makes the WinTOTAL software I use. Curious that he...
