The Acer AXL100 has a fast Athlon 64 3500+ processor, running at 2.2GHz.  512MB of RAM is installed, but you should seriously consider upgrading to at least 1GB for maximum Vista performance.  Graphics are supported by the NVIDIA GeForce 6150 card, and audio is integrated.  The hard drive is a large 160GB.  This inexpensive PC has a DVD±RW drive as well, so you’ve got lots of storage options.

In the connectivity department, you’ve got your choice of USB modem, LAN, and wireless LAN.  There are six USB ports, total, and one Firewire port.  The only common option this PC seems to be missing is a multi-card reader, but those are easily added on externally for around $20.  Buy the Acer ASL100-UA350B desktop PC with Windows Vista for just $566.66 at NewEgg.com.
