Hello Mr.gjlee - In short, the price of computers in the States is (much) lower than that of Korea, and memory itself is not cheap. I have some difficulties in posting articles so i would like to prefer to email. Could you let me know your email address. I bought my computer on May 20 and it costed about $3200 including tax. Below please find specifications of my compute(the prices are going down nowadays..). CPU - Intel Pentium 90(I think it is obsolete now) Memory - 32MB(should be enlarged up to 128MB) HDD - 850MB Monitor - 17" color Built-in CD-Rom driver etc.. I think it was a good deal at that time. Have a gorgeous Danpoong season...
