Tonks:
I would *call* Dell and talk to someone and have them build it the 
way that you want. If you get the home section they are very 
patience and helpful.  I would have nothing but Dell. Their service 
is very good. Be sure to get the extended service. I have heard that 
Compac is very bad. So I would not trust other brands myself. I just 
love the Dell customer service.
