The 4600 offers more potential for expansion.  In addition to
having an AGP slot should you decide to abandon the on-board
video, it also includes a bay for a second HD that the 2400
doesn't.  Given your intention to play with your photo
collection, both are considerations.  Also, what about memory
expandability?  2400 has two slots topping out at 1GB, 4600 four
slots and 2GB.  Playing with graphics needs memory.  [Get the
start from Dell, then add on chips from Crucial or another
vender, it's less expensive].  Once you start playing with your
records as well as your photos, I suspect you'll need that second
HD and added memory.  ;->
