First and foremost - 20 Gig HD in today's world is small. Get at least
60Gig drive.
As far as memory goes - 256 is ok for today, 512 might be overkill as
the marginal value of each additional Mg after 256 is small. But at
todays prices of memory, I would get 512, as you never know what kind
of memory hogs will come up in our future.
Unless you have a compelling reason to go with Windows ME, I would get
Windows 2000.
What about monitor?? Get at least 19 inch, preferably 21.
Good luck,
