    i have a budget of around 600-700, basically need something for college. needs to be able to handle a fair bit, me being an IT student and all, bit of software development, and graphic design and 3d rendering for starters, some light gaming (if possible but not a necessity) and in general i multi-task a lot on the computer so the greater the specs the better. So currently I'm looking at the Vostro 1700, the core duo 2Ghz with the 128mb geforce 8400? what do people think? would i be able to get a better spec machine for the same elsewhere?

    cheers.
