Dude! Neal's getting a Dell!

Onkel Neal · 03-02-09, 12:58 PM

Ok, that's good food for thought, thanks. I have had two Gateways, but I bought them back when to company made them to order, like Dell. Sadly, I learned a few months ago that Gateway no longer offers this service. They all must be bought in stores, pre-configged...

The Dell I set up on their webpage has 4GB RAM, and comes with WinXP and a free upgrade to Vista.

Zach, thanks for the i7 core info, I don't think this PC has that option, I'm checking now. I wish I could build one, thanks for the offer of help, just don't have time.

I've completed the order info, and am sitting here looking at the Submit Order button....:rotfl:

Just don't push the RED one! Nice pick you made Neal. You will love it.

Onkel Neal · 03-02-09, 01:08 PM

All I needed was an enabler

OMG! A new computer!

AVGWarhawk · 03-02-09, 01:12 PM

What I like about your pick is the 9800gt. I have one and love it! You will too!

Zachstar · 03-02-09, 01:12 PM

Now all we need is SH5 to go with it.

CaptainHaplo · 03-02-09, 01:22 PM

Heck if I had known a bit ago you were thinking this route, I could have put together a box for you for less cost and just let you pay for the parts and shipping. Oh well, in this case - at least you went the right direction - the Dell.

THAT!!! is called a stimulus package!

Good Buy!

And the local power station will also increase their business volume

Cheers,

In the last year I've built two computers with the E8400 processor, and I have zero complaints about it.
