No Wii?
not right now, looking at (and using) sal's beatup ancient laptop , it became clear that a new PC was more pressing  (trust me, I want a wii badly!) combined with the fact that my parents and her parents gave us basically a month to 5-6 weeks of grocery $ for my birthday, and the fact I had a 25% code for dell, and dell has 12 month no interest financing... it was too hard not to do it. that machine, knock on wood, should be good for 4-5 years, vista ready (when I finally give in to it) , etc... |

Dude, you're getting a Dell? see my last post. considering just the processor, and RAM alone in it have a newegg price around $600, and we're getting the whole thing for $1200 (with 2y warranty and sales tax)... trust me, if I had the $, i'd build a nicer, diy rig |

I just couldn't resist the jab. The desktop in the office downstairs is a DIY, but hard to do with a laptop. Ain't nothin' wrong with a Dell, really. Particularly given the OEM alternatives.  |

Vista is awesome. Pretty spendy, though, not to mention the 13GB of space it requires.... |

And I'm skeptical about anything M$. I really haven't looked into the security in vista yet (because I know I won't be getting it anytime soon), but wouldn't it have to be a tad bit better than XP? |
