I need a computer for the shack.  I was thinking of the Dell Inspiron.  Here are the specs:

PROCESSORS   Intel® Pentium® processor G2020 (3M Cache, 2.9 GHz)   
OPERATING SYSTEM   Windows® 7 Home Premium, 64Bit, English   
MEMORY   4GB Dual Channel DDR3 1600MHz - 1 DIMMs   
OPTICAL DRIVE   DVD+/-RW Tray Load Drive, 16X, SATA   
HARD DRIVE   1TB 7200 RPM SATA Hard Drive   
VIDEO CARD   Intel® HD Integrated Graphics   
SPEAKERS   No Speaker Requested   
WIRELESS   Dell DW1506 (802.11 b/g/n) WLAN half mini-Card   
SOUND CARD   Integrated 5.1 audio   
USB 3.0   Integrated 10/100/1000 Ethernet   

I'm only using this for ham radio functions only e.g. logging, internet access, LOTW etc.  No gaming.  Are these specs sufficient?
The total cost is about $480.

Thanks,

Phil
