This is what I came up with for a dell quote. The computer came to $479.

Does this look like a decent setup?

I don't do any heavy gaming or anything, but I do need the thing to be able to multitask and run photoshop, windows media, aim, and a few IE windows without slowing my computer down.

My Components:
AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 Dual-Core 3800+
Genuine Windows Vista™ Home Premium
No Monitor
1GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 667MHz- 2DIMMs
160GB Serial ATA Hard Drive (7200RPM) w/DataBurst Cache™
48X CD-RW/ DVD Combo Drive
NVIDIA GeForce 6150 LE Integrated Graphics GPU
Integrated 7.1 Channel Audio

My Accessories:
No speakers (Speakers are required to hear audio from your system)
Dell USB Keyboard and Dell 2-button Scroll Mouse
No Floppy Drive Included
56K PCI Data Fax Modem

My Software:
Microsoft Works 8. DOES NOT INCLUDE MS WORD
No security subscription (McAfee 30-day trial)
Trial pack- Basic and trial products from Corel and Yahoo

My Service:
1Yr Ltd Warranty, 1Yr At-Home Service, and 1Yr HW Warranty Support
6 Months of America Online Membership Included

Also Includes:
Mouse included in Dell Wireless Package
Adobe® Acrobat® Reader 7.0
Integrated 10/100 Ethernet
Award Winning Service and Support
Windows Vista™ Premium

Will I get the performance I'm looking for considering the specs and the fact that it has windows vista?

Also, I've been told to wait to buy a computer with vista until they work out some kinks. How long should I wait? until they release a service package? or am I in the clear if I order it soon?
