Yep...that's a nice rig. With that you can move up to editing Po's head into some great X-rated videos. 
UAC
Whats that?
You'll find out soon enough.
Something that you'll be turning off the first day you use Vista. After the third time you click that you really, really, really want to run a program.

Fortunately, I know an old Seminole who taught me a few tricks.

And let me just say that once I got up and running, the first thing I did was head over to the GUI's and download everything I could get my hands on! Thank you eveyone

I'd advise you send that rig to me! That should pump out the renders a little faster huh? Congrats on the new toy Jack, Yeah I'm jealous! 
Enjoy my friend!

OK so my next question is this...I'm giving my old Dell to my daughter and want to reformat the hard drive, will I need to reinstall XP after the reformat???

Anyone?

Yes...unless you have another OS you want to install.

Anyone?
If you format the hard drive you'll have to install an OS.
Which depends on the machine: it's processor and RAM....oh yes, and your own preference. What do YOU want to do?

Wow, sounds like simpler transition than mine! Congrats!
I had to wrestle alligators for a day or two.
