hmm i was thinking about going with the windows 7 OS, can't beat free for sure. and by the time it is done i should be able to afford a new OS.

i have had a lot of bad experiences with dell so i tend to try and shy away from them a little bit, but i may check out some of there stuff. if i did go with a dell i would more then likely go with the quad core, sounds like the best deal to me but i would need to do more research first.

thanks man ^_^

all other help or opinions or info is welcome!
