I would buy the minimum ram and upgrade it yourself from a 3 party.

Personally I'd kick the processor down a notch or two, you wont be able to tell the difference between 100-200 mhz with a gig of ram for most stuff.

TV tuner...http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814100015

I am a light to moderate gamer(I will be gaming all summer, but basically none after that). Do you think the x300 is suitable or should I ditch the tv tuner and go with the 6800? On the tv tuner, is it possible(with this one) to record tv onto a hdd? How is the quality? Can I play ps2 with it?

If you go with the 6800go, you can definately play HL2 and many other new games at the native resolution. I think you are making a good decision with the processor, especially if you get the 6800go.

A dell rep just told me that I cannot use this tv tuner to record a program to a hdd, only a dvd. Is this true?
