What do you guys think? I want to get a system that can multitask...I plan to run Ventrillo, Raphsody, 4X WoW, and Firefox all at once. More ram maybe? Is this system capable of running all of the above smoothly? Also I will be running dual monitors.

Dell Inspiron 530 Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Quad-Core Desktop (3GB RAM) $519.99 ('http://configure.us.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?cs=19&dgvcode=ss&c=US&l=EN&vw=list&oc=DDDADG4&dgc=CJ&cid=7420&lid=0')

with PNY VERTO GeForce 9600 GT 512MB PCIe SLI-Ready Graphics Card VCG96512GXPB ('http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00141CIZO?tag2=slickdeals&tag=slickdeals')

Or a new replacement for my laptop...the laptop is starting to get artifacts...DOH. This would not be for the 4 box, but looks like a nice upgrade for my current team, I have an older E1705 Core Duo 2 2Ghz 2 GB ram system, about to retire the old beast.

Dell Vostro 1700 Notebook Core 2 Duo T8100, 17in XGA+, nVidia 8400m $803 free shipping ('http://configure.us.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?cs=04&dgvcode=ss&c=US&l=EN&m_8=80S&oc=bqcwl1s&dgc=CJ&cid=7420&lid=197374')

For the desktop system, I would upgrade to 4GB DDR2 and Vista Ultimate. Not sure which motherboard they put in that system, but it probably isn't capable of SLI. Great price, though.
