I'm thinking about getting a Dell Inspiron 531 desktop! Need some help!?
These are decent specs?

Yes, definitely one of the best deals on the market. If you buy it before August 16 you can also take advantage of a promotion special and worth the value to hit $ 350 off the purchase price and the addition of shipping is free (approx. U.S. $ 29.00) and probably no tax. Wow The $ 350 coupon requires that the system costs at least $ 999 before applying the coupon. After deducting the coupon the cost would be minimal, therefore, be at least $ 649.00 replacement (4400 + CPU, just a wireless fax modem, regular Dell keyboard and mouse, and want the card to 128MB of video or 525 Dell Speakers setup suggested below which the total cost of $ 830 dollars). I would suggest, however, that you take the opportunity to upgrade various options to get the system very powerful, stable for less than $ 850. Here are my suggestions in order of importance: (1) upgrading to the AMD Athlon 64 X2 5600 + (comparable the performance of Core 2 Duo E6300 class) [+ $ 50] (2) Seriously consider upgrading to an add-on graphics card especially with graphics intensive Vista User Interface – the integrated GPU using shared RAM and CPU can be a real downer performance. Microsoft, in fact, suggests a DX9 card with a minimum of 128MB of its own on-board RAM. Dell prices are very competitive, so you will not really save by buying a video card itself … just more options. If you are not very comfortable with the installation of PC hardware, get the update for the NVIDIA Geforce 8300GS w 128MB [+ $ 50] (3) Upgrade for the Logitech S512 Keyboard and Wireless Mouse [+ $ 49], or the second option – the keyboard and Dell Premium Optical Mouse [+ $ 10] (4) Consider upgrading to more secure robust Vista Business [+ $ 69] … but Vista Home Premium is OK with the updates suggested above 1 to 3 (using the cheaper option of mouse / keyboard): The cost of the coupon is $ 1189 Minor (3SFX? 88CB80QDD) entered the checkout system cost is real ($ 1189 – $ 350) ==> $ 830 (subbing Logitech wireless mouse and keyboard would cost an extra $ 40) Note: (1) The 13 in 1 Media Reader does not include a floppy drive. These are mutually exclusive. If you really want a unit Floppy get a external USB model, which costs less or about the same. (2) This PC only has 2 PCI slots, so you can not choose either the IEEE 1394a card option port and wireless and modem option "(actually, this last option consists of 2 cards … 1 for the Wireless, 1 for the modem). Unless you really need to dial-up, I had just started the Wireless (config that I used over pricing). You can also give the wireless option fully and try to find a suitable alternative post-market. Personally I prefer a hard-wired Ethernet connection is much faster and more secure. I only consider wireless if you are using the PC in a dorm on campus or similar space. (3) To keep crapware "undesirable" to at least keep in mind: (a) Select the "No ISP "option for Dial-Up Internet (B) Uncheck the" Yahoo Music Box "option Burn & Digital Editing (C) Select "No productivity software option for the Office Software. Have fun with your new tool-toy
