Default How well will this computer work?

Hi guys i looked at comments of my old pc that i was gonna get and now im going to get a pc on December 31st. Its a XPS 720 and here are the specs

Intel® Core™ 2 Quad-Core Processor Q6600 (2.40GHz, 1066MHz, 8MB cache)
Genuine Windows Vista® Home Premium - English
SINGLE 768MB nVidia® GeForce® 8800 GTX graphics card
3072MB 667MHz Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM [2x1024+2x512]

Those are the important specs to me and im also going to install Windows XP on the other drive so i can switch from Vista to XP and XP to Vista XD lol

Build a computer. It will be a lot better, and most likely cheaper.

With the savings you could get one of the best overclocking MoBo's around and some faster memory. And still pay less money. And learn stuff.

It wont work, the moment you turn on the power button, reallity will be torn asunder, and we will all die in horrible ways

Way to doom the world DarkRoy, real classy, you just had to choose the one computer that would destroy all life as we know it, you jerk..

Good enough methinks, might be worth getting a mobo that will allow you to o/c the cpu (RAM will need to be compatible)

You could sacrifice the creative card........decent sound setups onboard with some mobos.

Cant say I'd blame you for feeling uncomfortable Roy, c'mon guys......Roy was asking for opinions on the pc, not for judgement on anything else.
