I will be replacing my old desktop with one of the following computers.
The most important use will be for Photoshop element 9 and Proshow Gold to edit and make slide shows that include still pictures and small videos. These stills and videos will be from a canon T2i dslr.(18 mega pixel camera). I will be purchasing one of these computers from Costco in the next few days.
