Some pretty good deals on ebay the video card is the big deal i found out. i can get a pretty well pumped up M90 used slightly but with dell warranty remaining for a lot less than a slightly more advanced but less well outfitted M6300. My guess, for my skill level and limited demands, that the M90 will work just about as well as the much more expensive M6300 with comparable features. anyone have advice on how well the M90 will work out for SW etc. ** Note on SE tutorials..they worked really well, very nice, until I came to assembly of complex item......that glitched. My guess my current computer (500 dollar compaq, 2 gig ram, single core, ATI vid card) wont run SE (the vendor guessed it wouldnt also). Phil scott
