They come with a 603e @100 mh processor, a 1.2.gig HD, a 4x CD rom, Global Village internal 28.8 modem and some software. I added 32 megs to bring it ip to 48 and it works fine using the software you mentioned. The current price is $959. plus $26 for quick shipping. All the units I got work very well and I believe the price is good. FWIW Joe flynn
