Beware Walmart; before buying there, check to see if the brand machine 
is even recognizable and same with components.  They like to use 
non-standard RAM sticks also that are hell to replace/upgrade, same with 
the drives, which are usually the old 5250 rpm drives.  They're cheap 
cheap cheap IME.  Better to go TigerDirect etc..
