Mike,

Don't bother with the stand-alone computers. They are not reliable. Get a good
mini-tower AMD-2200 or better with a fast video card ie NVidia G4/ATI Radeon
9700 or better and at least 512 MB of RAM. In addition, you need a nice
Viewsonic 19 to 22 inch monitor. A 120 to 180 Gigabyte Hard Drive and a DVD
player will round out your system.

I recommend Shredder 7.0x as your initial computer partner. It plays awesome
chess. You can learn a lot by having it autoplay weaker programs.  Fun,fun,fun.

Get a good chess database program if you are really serious.
