Dell PC - Please Help- Are the specs any good

[Confused guy]

I'm a novice so I don't know what half this stuff means

Its the Dell Vostro Pentium Dual Core Processor 2.00Ghz 800Mhz and 1mb cache.
the memory is 2048MB and 667Mhz DDR2 Dual Channel
hard drive 250GB Serial ATA Non Raid (7200RPM)

There is also no modem ...Thats for about £400

Somebody help

well a pentium dual core isn't that good, you want a core 2 duo these days, and the ram isn't that good, DDR2 800 is what you want

If you need any more info pm me

It is just for personal use though, or do I really need something better

[Confused guy]
