    That looks pretty expensive to me tbh. I'd say you're paying through the nose for the support contract.

    Can someone tell me what Serial ATA/100 is?

    I think thats SERIAL ATA,= SATA hard drive with faster transfer speed than old ide hardrive standard ,with plug and play capability,too.NO point in getting ms works 8,when theres free programs on the web that do the same thing.I think you can get grahics card on komplett.ie ,100euros that are faster than the 8600 card.its very easy to install a pci-e card.GET at least 350gig hardrive.
