Just been looking at the Dell computers by comparison. Anyone know if they are better ?

As far as I know they are fine, but don't buy their upgrades, it can be cheaper to just buy the basic package and do it yourself.

Ditto on Drewboy's last, if it was me I'd look for the AMD processor option as these tend to be less twitchy than the Intel P4 alternative (I hate Intel processors!!) AMD's tend to like any type of memory upgrades that you throw at them, Intel's REQUIRE that you install the perfect mem' for the chip etc etc , so upgrading I think will be easier if you took this route. (personal opinion as per!)
