I need help, though, being woefully undereducated about current capabilities of computers. The primary purpose of the desktop would be document processing (IE, writing, powerpoint, excell) and playing City of Heroes. The budget is going to be about $1700. Can someone please give this poor soul some helpful information?I suspect that computers will be more powerful in 4-8 months than they are now. (Especially considering how many companies put out their latest-and-greatest-and-most-expensive just before Christmas.) You might want to start looking one month before you're ready to buy, instead of looking now...
