The reason I say Dell, is that my company offers employees a discount on a Dell.

I am looking for something to mainly surf the internet and occasionally burn cd’s. Secondary things I would do would be pretty much run MS Office, and work on my pretty basic website. I’m not really into gaming at all, but I wouldn’t mind keeping that option open if it didn’t really cost that much. I’ll be using a cable modem, if that matters.

What I need to know:

Processor?  
RAM?
