Old HP, where old is more then 5 years, and modest price at that time, is kind 
of a problem. I can't boot it from USB, the rest works. Higher priced worked 
fine until ATI and kernel (or xorg) went different ways. Now it is used mostly 
as a XP station.

The one of recent Dell's desktops works fine (out of the box), but that is my 
first contact with Dell. 

It is the Core 2 Quad, Intel graphics, 8 GB RAM, 600 GB HD. 
I guess that coarse specs tell how little I know about internals. I didn't 
have to learn anything :) 
All that I ever tried worked without tweaking.
