My Gateway died - may it RIP.
I was able to salvage the data to an external.
Price is a strong consideration here.
Do I take advantage of a great deal on an older system:
DellSB - Dimension 4600 with 2.8Ghz P4, 512MB DDR SDRAM, 80GB HD, CD-RW,
128MB GF FX5200, and 2 year Warranty for $449 after Rebate with FREE
Shipping!
Or spend a few more shekels and go for the new (untested):
DimensionTM 8400
NEW! Ultimate Performance
The desktop for businesses seeking top performance
All the technology of the 8300 and more - including PCIe graphics and DDR2
memory
Powered by Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor with HT Technology
From $899
Now from
$764
I would want to add (on my own) a dvd burner and a 2nd hard drive for back
up.
The new system will be used primarily for Office programs, surfin and some
games.
No hard core stuff.
I would probably stick with the 512 meg ram.
Any thoughts or input?
