If there are specific computers on newegg or tigerdirect that will do these, I would liek to know which one would be best. I appreciate the continual help and responses.
Sill in the mindset of being curious, why exactly are you interested in having (3) clients on med, or high, or better? Perhaps understanding the relavance to this may help point you in a more appropriate direction.

This comment, I like to see. Given you are willing to (lets say for the sake of argument), conform to what the vast majority of us do... How open are you to building your own pc, with LOTS of assistance from the tech savy lurkers? I.e. If you were provided a list of items for purchase; you purchase those items, and install the hardware and software yourself.

I realize you said you didnt want to do this, as a result of simply not knowing what to do... yet I would argue, that doing it yourself, you will learn more about computers, the hardware, and how it all fits together.

You can purchase a bare-bones kit, and then a motherboard, processor w/fan, ram, power supply, video card, HDD and be very close to your budget. Then get an el'cheapo mouse and keyboard, and whatever monitor you want, when you have the time and a little more cash. Wal-mart sells a decent 22"+ monitor. Hell, I saw one, just this weekend on the clearance, (no box), for $82.

Point is, I think you will do best with guidance from people here to build what you want, over time...even with a tight budget, all the while play on your laptop.
