Thanks Jim.  I had looked at that page, but it shows the only 
differences being the video card and the CPU.  The video card obviously 
isn't what came in it, so I don't know if the CPU is, either, and I'd 
like another way to verify what model it is.

I definitely got hosed on the video card, but I'm okay with that. 
Incidentally, I have now tried it out, and it seems to work fine.
