Dell only puts one hard drive bay into their entry-level models (Dimension 2400 and 3000), but the 4600 and 4700 have two, so that won't be a problem. The 4600 uses the 865G chipset, so it runs dual-channel RAM. Buying from Crucial is not necessary because the system is pretty new -- you can buy from Newegg instead. And finally, I would recommend the 9800 Pro rather than the 9600XT -- yeah, the 9600XT has a faster clock speed, but the 9800 Pro has a more sophisticated archetecture and will give better performance.
