Gonna put my order today. I'll let you know how it runs when I get it.

Thank you very much for all of the advice and patience as I get back up to speed a little.

Have a great weekend!

My company gets Employee Pricing which saves me about $40 which helps a bit too. My order says it will be built on the 21st. So it's gonna be a couple weeks. My old system is still running so I guess I can wait. Just hope it doesn't go belly up till then.

Wow, now that's a nice deal, Kent. Glad you're happy with it. Be sure and get that free Win 7 upgrade, it's miles above Vista performance wise.

And if you have any questions about Win 7 or in general, if you're not familiar with Vista, it's a lot different than XP, but not difficult. Just post in the General Tech or Win 7 section and we'll be glad to help you out.

Yes looks a great deal and as Chris has said W7 is great. Happy computing.

I'll be posting about Windows7 for sure. I have limited knowledge of Vista, what I do know is that I hate it. When I get 7 i'll be back asking questions I'm sure.

thanks to all of you!
