    I'd look for a Pentium 4 instead of a Celeron. You might also want to add more RAM to get 1GB.

    BTW...movies dissolve space on your hard drive...look for an even bigger one.

    if you have any knowledge about building pcs id try and build your own rather than buy that dell, youll get a much better pc

    I would have to agree with the others, firstly dell is not that reliable and secondly celeron is not a good proccessor in my book to do what u want.

    Agreed. Go for a P4 and the biggest hard drive you can get, and as much RAM as it will hold. A good video card (min 128Mb) is nice too.
