The Performance Line is for the user(s) that just like a little more power right off the bat. The Performance systems come with a step up in processors, twice the RAM, a larger hard drive, and dual-monitor capable graphics. Remember, you can still customize these PCs and add more of the stuff you want (i.e. a much larger hard drive or perhaps even a second internal drive). If you this exceeds your requirements or budget, look back at the Value system. Remember, you can substitute things and upgrade just the areas you care about. Want even more power/specs than the Performance has to offer? Check out the Powerhouse.
