Recently got an eMachines dualcore with 4 gig RAM for the wife. Has a couple PCI slots and 6 USB ports. Seems pretty robust. Cost about $450


AMD is fine.
I haven't heard issues of win7 home not running older programs.
I actually installed a pre-XP graphic program the wife likes on the system with no problems.

* I assume in your specs above the processor is 2.4 gHz, not 2.4 mHz .. which isn't a bad processor, how can it be limited to 1 gig ram?
