Your question as stated doesn't really give one much to work on so we 
can't really answer your question. If you provide the hardware details 
that will go in the eventual machine, we can give you pointers.

Dell, as is common with most system builders, have this annoying habit 
of calling completely different machines by the same model number. It's 
almost as if the model number tells you the shape and colour of the box 
and you can put inside whatever you like when you order....
