Post #116,859 by qstephens 9/6/03 5:07:19 AM Reply	Re: Yurz and Minz and Dellz Aren't you forgetting the cost of all the software that comes with it? You don't just get XP Pro, you get Works and other bits and bobs. And your prices seem way OTT. For a 2.8 GHz Dell with XP Pro, 1 GB RAM, and a 120 GB HDD I get a total cost of \ufffd1450 + \ufffd219 for Office Pro. A 3.2 GHz Dell Dimension 8300 with identical options is \ufffd1743 All prices include VAT. Both systems include TFT monitors. qts
Post #116,864 by folkert 9/6/03 9:16:00 AM Reply	Please compare Apples to Apples Please. If you'll note... EVERYTHING on the machine and proper Hard Drive Specs... and so on. Including the Upgraded Video and the lavish Hard Drive space, the sound system the ... well you understand. Please compare The equivalently apportioned 8300 as compared to mine or peters. Thanks... oh and also take into account the prices are continuously falling, were as Dell's are not typically going to until they feel like it. -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ *i_wethey* Nits, Nats, GNITS, GNATS, always to many to choose from.
