My first NEW store bought computer... Reply #15 – May 31, 2006, 10:41:19 AM QuoteOne thing I hate about oem computers like dell, sony etc is all the software they load up on them..Why do you think you can get a Dell so cheap? All of those companies pay Dell to have their software come pre-installed on every system they ship. There are a lot of brand new computers I've worked on that run slower than my five year old Athlon because of all the software that's installed on them. Quote Selected

Reply #16 – May 31, 2006, 11:56:38 AM Dells are way worth the price, exspecially because EVERY machine comes with XPsp2 home at the minimum. they are decent machines and run fairly good.I still build all my own though. I just enjoy it, though I do have several old dells i've brought home from work. Quote Selected
