If you think most grandparents don't have good computers, you are wrong. One of mine has a $5,500 Dell XPS with a Intel Core 2 Extreme, 4GB DDR3 RAM, a 750GB hard drive and it's water cooled! I really envy him!!! And he has three ATI Radeon video cards in his drawer of spare PCI cards. Amazing.

That price seems a bit steep for that spec, but maybe your missing out a few parts (like the graphics card)

I forgot to ask if I could have one video card, and he has more than those features on his PC. And I was wrong about price. I found the model too! Dell XPS 720 Desktop

My grandparent's PC is my old laptop, a Fujitsu Lifebook 435dx with specs as following:
Intel Pentium 133mhz
80mb RAM
6.3gb 4200rpm HD
1mb video RAM
Windows 98 SE
It doesn't even have any USB ports (though I've purchased them a USB pcmcia card)

Oooh, how awesomely cool is that!

at least more ram and hard drive space than my aptiva. plus zach, could you help me with the floppy drive problem?

It actually had 16mb RAM and a 1334mb HD before, I upgraded it for them though because I'm the most awesome grandson alive!
As for your floppy problem, I'm sorry but I have nothing to add, I would have suggested exactly what Jellybean said.
