Nice.

If you plan to keep the system for a while upgrade to 4GB. The price of DDR2 has started to rise -- manufacturing converted to DDR3. But your Ultra small form factor system has only 2 dimms slots. If they are filled with two 1GB dimms you'd need to discard them. IF one slot has a 2GB dimm then you'd jsut need to add another.

IF you get bored and want to play, a 120GB SSD is now about $100 and would do a really nice job of replacing your HDD. It would make boot and application startup faster.

This tech guide says the USFF doesn't have a video slot, so no video upgrade possible. http://www.dell.com/downloads/global/products/optix/en/opti_755_techspecs.pdf
