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.

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.
