Is this a good computer for Vegas

I have ordered this Dell refurbished computer. I plan on using it for Vegas as well as Matrox rt.x100 card. I still have time to cancel out so I am soliciting any opinions as to whether this would be a really good system to use Vegas on.

Thanks...Phil

Seems like there's a lot of miscellaneous stuff on there to suck away system rsources. I'd also get at least 512Mb RAM, a second hard drive for data and maybe a decent sound card.

You could probably do better specifying your own machine, but it looks like you need an all-in-one PC ?
