64 bit windows XP seems fairly nice. I've been using it lately. No compatibility probs with 32-bit programs so far.

its not bad, but it can be improved. It defaults with home basic, which is very true to its name, BASIC. an upgrade to atleast home premium is worth it.

also its running off of an AMD, while for a little more, you can get a Core 2 that will out-preform it.

pluse from personal experiance, these cheap dells tend to fail relitivly quickly.

And a mouse + keyboard if needed.

You can go cheaper on things, but with Vista, I wouldnt chance it.

Change the P5B-VM to a regular P5B. The P5B is better, and if it fits your budget, get the P5B-E.

I know nothing of motherboards. I saw it was compatible and im like yay!

Ok we want to build a new computer for under $750, we need an lcd monitor 17" is fine and we need vista home premium. The OEM version is fine.
We would like a core 2 duo, and decent graphics.

Good luck. Vista alone is about $200, then decent graphics is about $150, and then the monitor sucks up another $200. So that's $200 to spend on a C2D and Motherboard, cheapest C2D is about $170, so once again, good luck on splitting $30 between a motheeboard, RAM, CD/DVD drive, Hard Drive, case, PSU, etc.

If you want good graphics and a C2D, increase the budget to $1000+

Didn't see a Hard Drive in that build. I'd recommend a Western Digital 160GB SATA II drive. Somethign around 65 - $70 or so. Excellent hard drive.

yeah, true, I never noticed that before, lol. Thanks for pointing that out.
