Geez, built your own kickass PC for $800 or save $3000 for a PowerBook

those are the only 2 good deals in the computer business

besides I noticed that lately I don't even use any applications requiring the full speed of my computer, I mean it's sort of pointless to buy the fastest computer if you don't use it to run some cutting edge software that needs it. Yeah, 2Ghz for word processing is friggin smart especially if it's a Celoron processor:big grin:
As far as processors go just buy AMD - cheaper, faster, more reliable, more efficient, just invest in a heat sink and a good fan
