I learned the hard way, and later was advised, to always buy more computer than you'll ever think you need. That way it won't become obsolete as fast. My first computer back in 1997 became obsolete in 6 months because software required more and more resources (RAM, Space, technology) than my computer with 15MB of RAM could handle. That's why my new WIN7 64x DELL has 1.5TB HDD, 8GB RAM, a better than stock Pentium CPU and video card. At the present time I could do nicely with a 250GB HDD, and 4 GB RAM for a long time, but I don't want to kick myself in 4 years because I out grew my computer. :)

You can always add RAM to a PC. You can add a second HD. One thing you can't add is a CPU. I bought a new computer in 2008 and it had a Pentium.

What you say is very true, but why not get what you might need initially instead of the extra work?
