Hello. I just want to say welcome because I am new to this forum. I just wanted to get some ideas before I make a trade for a new computer. I have a Toshiba Satellite A205 laptop and here are my specs:
Specifications

Now I want to do is trade this for a decent desktop that has a decent graphics card. Somebody offered me a trade and here is what he offered:
* Biostar Motherboard P4m89-m7b
* 3.4GHz Intel Prescott
* NEW! 2GB DDR2 667/5300 RAM
* EVGA GeForce 8400 GS 512MB 64-bit GDDR2 PCI Video Card
* NEW! 250GB Western Digital ATA Hard Drive
* NEW! LG DVD/CD-RW Combo w/ LightScribe
* NEW! New Black Case w/ glow stick
* NEW! 480W Power Supply
* XP Pro restore disk with all drivers included
His setup clearly has a faster processor, bigger hard drive and a better video card. He was selling the system for 350. I am trying to sell my laptop for 425. Am I getting ripped off or is it a good deal? I am planning on getting a better video card but for now the video card is okay. So do I come out the winner in this deal??
