Hey, I'm looking at the same system, only seeing two issues with it. One, no wireless, but that's fine I'll just buy a wireless card. Two, it looks like it can only hold up to 4GB of ddr3? How much of a problem will that be...i.e. how harshly will that affect performance vs. all the other systems out there right now offering 6gb and 8gb?

Even my friends who are renderers, graphics artists, engineers, designers, etc... Never use more than 4Gb of RAM.
In reality, there aren't many people in the world who actually need/use more than 4Gb
There's only a small number that use more than 2Gb regularly tbqh

Having more RAM doesn't necessarily mean better performance, in fact, in some cases, extra RAM can slow you down.
 
How do you compare that computer to this one?

Thanks for the reply was just asking because my father bought that computer and I used it and it's incredible!
 
All the computers mentioned are decent, but they have lower to mid range graphics cards in them. I don't know about an i3 unless money was a major issue, but the 630 is a great gaming CPU.

4GB is good enough for most everything, but a modern mobo that can only handle up to 4GB? My mobo (several years old) can handle 4GB, and those that came out the next year could handle 8 and 16. So to only be able to handle 4... no way I would have it.

Ant of them, if they were paired with a upper end GFX card (like a GTX 260 or a 5850/5870) would be something else entirely. Well, the i3 may be a bottleneck with a good GPU.
