[QUOTE="Altalazar, post: 1274365, member: 939"] I am a Computer Programmer by trade (though I am in Law School too), though I am far from an expert. I am a Pentium/Dell phreak. I have Three Dells - a P4-2.2Ghz, a P4-2.4Ghz, and a laptop P4-1.8Ghz - one is mine, decked out to the gills, one is my wife's, and one is my laptop I take to Law School classes. All are awesome. ANd I'm glad I went high end and got P4s - they can run everything, no problems, and they will be non-obsolete for a long time. That's what I did with my last machine - I got a PII-300 decked to the max - it was expensive, but it paid big dividends because I had NO need to upgrade to a new system for six years - it still ran basically everything. I expect the same out of my current machines, which are now over a year old - I bought all three of them in a 10 month period (I guess six years gave me withdrawl - plus I had a good excuse with school and needing a machine for my wife as well as myself). I networked them all together, along with the remains of my old machine using XP and I'm happy as a rich dragon. [/QUOTE]
