I didn't know Dell owned Alienware. That's news to me.
Chris, we have a good idea what we want, but ideally Peg wants a system with both XP on it and an nVidia graphics card -- I can't seem to find that
combination on the online store, and was intending to use their live chat function to see if a system with both were available or could be put together. If you
can point us at something straightaway, that'd be great. Thanks!
Fox -- Peggy's specifications were basically "at least as good as our desktop", which is currently leaning more toward a gamer machine (as
I've bought components specifically to support COH over the years). Because of the Relentless March of Science, the bottommost machine I can buy for her,
at least through Dell, already exceed our desktop in terms of CPU, memory and hard drive, and most have the wide screen LCD. It's just getting the nVidia
graphics and not getting bogged down with Vista that I need to ensure. As it turns out, Dell's site is offering hundreds of dollars in discounts on all the
stuff I've looked at, so the worst price for the basic system that I've found so far is about $1300.
