Thank you for your reply. Here is what Belarc found, or at least most of it. If there is something I did not include, please let me know. I believe I have all the requirements other than the graphics card. There is space for it though, we just don't have one. I talked to Dell and they wanted to sell me one (of course), but I don't know which one to get. I want to purchase the right one the first time. I appreciate any suggestions you may have. THANK YOU AGAIN.
