    $400 for those specs are a big rip IMO esp for a Celeron CPU and Vista Basic. but if it does what you need it for then

    Aside from some recent overheating/shutting down issues, that I am working out with Dell through my Warranty.....the laptop has worked great for me 95% of the time, and still continues to do so.

    The main one with all the multimedia I got back in 2005 is a HP Media Center m1050e with a AMD Athlon64 3200+ (1.8 Ghz NewCastle) single core CTO from Office Depot. I also have another Media Center about a year older running a 3.2 Ghz Pentium 4 with HT (Prescott). Both have TV tuners and and not maxed out on RAM yet. I have probably upgraded the drives on those more with all the media I have, lol. The only downside on those units I see it not running dual core. The one I use the most in my Toshiba Satellite A215-S4757 with the Turion X2 TL-56 running Windows 7 RC 64-bit. This one is pushing two years and I'm probably replacing it this fall.

    Built it in 2003 for one thousand dollars. Run Ubuntu or Centos when studying for the RHCE. Run XP home when playing games that don't run in Wine.

    Linux. Two thumbs up.

    512 ram
    old school 32 meg vid card
    40 gig HD sata 7200rpm
    HP 9100 CD burner

    very old technology....lol. New Quad core setup in the works for 2009. Can't complain though since i use Norton ghost to bail out of tricky lockups that i can't figure out. With ghost image i have a brand new pc install in 30 mins tops with all apps preinstalled and configured. Highly recommend to people who just want to keep running lean and mean all the time....and new pc basically. b/c it's not loaded with crap...over time.
    New setup:
    Core i7 860 2.8Ghz 1156 socket- On sale locally and i got 1 day b4 official release
    Windows Vista 64 bit free upgrade to Windows 7
    4bg Corsair DDDr3 1600
    512 mb DDR3 EVGA 250 GTX (entry midlevel vid card, again overkill but should handle video editing / capturing very nicely) rebate avail..
    Lite on sata DVD-Rw DL burner
    23" widescreen monitor Acer ( I hate acer but supposedly they make ok monitors) on sale too
    Integrated Nic, and sound
    Asus P7p55 Pro motherboard triple sli capable, lol. (this junk is mega new)
    OCZ vertex ssd 60 gig - local price very comp. w/newegg
    Corsair 650 watt PSU - high quality PSU matters these days when u have a decent vid card, lol - on sale too
    64 bit software here and there

    Note on SSD (highly I recommend if you don't need that much space) -
    This article better explains why you need SSD, basically justfying it's purchase. It explains it more in a more practical sense. I have the ocz vertex, but a diff. model. It really is that impressive in person.

    [ A difference of 24 seconds hardly seems like much, until you actually think about it in terms of PC response time. We expect our computers to react immediately to input; even waiting 6.6 seconds is an eternity. Waiting 31 seconds is agony in the PC world. Worst of all? This is on a Core i7 system. To have the world’s fastest CPU and to have to wait half a minute for a couple of apps to launch is just wrong. ]

    Now if I can only figure out how to get my old 32 bit apps (apps not available in 64 bit ) to install on my 64 bit windows vista.

    My desktop I built is a little over two years old. I'm in the process of building a nice liquid cooled system. My Macbook Pro is not quite a year old...
