I usually build my own PC clones, but I don't have much time and I need
a new box.
So I looked over the Dell site and ran a comparison of an 8400 with a
3.4GHz processor and the XPS with the same processor. I equipped both
machines exactly alike, and the XPS came in at $1851 and the 8400 at
$1520, both one gig of memory machines, 160 gig hard drive, 48X CDRW, no
monitor, same 238 meg PCI Express Radeon x800SE video card, et cetera.
Same motherboard, too, it seems.
Now, the XPS has a slightly larger case...but other than that...
any differences?
AND, most important, any thoughts about these new machins, positive or
negative?
Thanks!
