I ordered a new Dell last night. My old desktop is a HP that just had it's three year old birthday and it's slowness has been starting to get on my nerves. Funny how every new computer is faster than me and in 3 years I'm faster than it (regarding trying to do things and waiting for computer lag).
So here it is the custom OptiPlex 745 Desktop I ordered in all it's 30% off, $1050 after taxes glory:
- Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo Processor E6600 (2.40GHz, 4M, 1066MHz FSB)
- Memory: 2.0GB DDR2 Non-ECC SDRAM, 667MHz, (2DIMM)
- Video Card: 256MB ATI Radeon X1300PRO, Dual Monitor DVI or VGA (TV-out), FH
- Hard Drive: 250GB SATA 3.0Gb/s and 8MB DataBurst Cache
- Floppy Drive Options: Dell 13 in 1 USB Media Card Reader
- Operating System: Genuine Windows XP Home Edition,SP2, x32
- Removable Media Storage Devices: 16X DVD+/-RW SATA
- Controller Option: 1394 Controller Card, Full Height
Shipping date is next Wednesday the 9th, but word on the street is Dell is usually faster than that. Next up will be a new Macbook Pro this summer (when the new backlit lcd ones come out) to replace my 3 year old Powerbook.
