We got a deal at work that we get 12% off anything we buy from dell. So I had to throw down and get a new computer. Time to get rid of the p4. So I built me a low end XPS system with the highest parts that you could get. (high end xps starts at 1900... i got the one that starts at 900 :P) But anyways...
I will be getting it on the 26th. As I was building it I was thinking that the price wasn't so bad. But after I finished it, I was seriously considering canceling it. But I guess I'll just live with it. Help build credit anyways. I was wondering if Vista is stable yet. I watched several video's of people trying to run applications and the computer will give errors and crash. But I think that was with the beta. I know any application such as this will take time to perfect, but.. is it any better?
I also have a ATI x1600pro 512 going in it when I get it. And I have another 500gb sata hd. I was just wondering what I should expect. Is it going to be fast? I have a P4 3.0ghz right now that's like 3 years old. (I paid more for it than this new comp) And I'm just hoping to be able to run games in higher res. with no chop. Right now I can run HL2 and source at the highest settings and it only gets choppy when a lot of shit is going on.
Here's the build list.
