XP only sees 3. vista sees 4. It will say build in wireless or something like that in the mobo specs. or in the specs on it. ---

(this is only if your looking to build it yourself. the 8800GT destroys the 8500GT, and the ram, mobo, and psu I listed are way better than the Gateway deal, but the Gateway is a deal, and it does come with a quad core.

If you buy that dell with integrated video, be POSITIVE that you can add a PCI X16 card into the system! I have seen plenty of Dells that has integrated with no additional spot to put a drive in! they build them like that on purpose so you CANT buy the integrated video computer and add a card… So, just be careful. Get it in writing that it has a slot… If you buy the dell and it can support a card, get the 9600GT. $170. Best bang for the buck with that computer. ---
