It seems this comes up once a month, every month. 

You haven't said what the job is for. Asuming it is for standard
technical writing and not for high-end animation, real-time sound
processing, 3D graphics, or CAD rendering, go to the Dell site and
look at the mid-range small-office setups, and use those specs.
 
And I'd try for a laptop with builtin wireless rather than a desktop.
The Dell Latitudes are nice...I have one and I can keep 6 or more
applications open (including FM) and not notice any degradation.
