Hi Robert,

Thanks for your reply.  My students use the computers for wordprocessing, browsing the web for research purposes (we do not have a library), and thats about it.  Gaming is not necessary, although chess or something simple such as chess would be ok.  They really do not have to be supersonic.  My main goals are that each work station is identical, that there is nothing on the computers that is not educational, and that I can save money by having computers that do not need constant upgrading of microsoft products.  

As far as what each computer has for hardware, I could get that info.  -Will
