The quote I used had other things in it so the computer and monitor is $762, 
but I still am confused about what I actually need and how much it would be 
to go with the local store vs buying online.  For instance, how much is 
setup and instruction worth? (someone would have to do it) And whether a 
larger processor is needed.  The difference seems to be in the cache size 
for certain applications.  It is the processor I am concerned about.  The 
software application is VidiTalk.  I think that the difference in price for 
processors is about $30.  The prices I am finding online  range from $300 to 
$900 for the complete computer.

There must be some differences in what is offered within that price range! 
Only I can't tell what it is.  I have a feeling that the $762 quote (except 
for a bigger processor which might be a little bit more) is not that far 
off, but I need proof to show the buyer.
