I got a new Computer*A VERY Good one*

As a combo graduation and Birthday present my Dad's side of the family got me this computer
http://reviews.cnet.com/Dell_XPS_600...1.html?tag=sub

It's insane how much better it is then my old PC. I can run Oblivion on this sucker at full everything without the slightest hint of slowdown. But that's not why I got it. It's also for video editing which this thing also does very quickly. I feel like my old computer was...well alot older then it really was. This thing makes it look like a pile of rocks.

I was rather excited so I thought I would share it with you all! I still got the jitters over it.

Edit: Wow those specs aren't all correct...
I have 2 GIGs of RAM not 1 and 3.46 GHz...I wonder if I can find a site witht he right specs.

Well if anyone can it's a Dell XPS 600, but I think it's a custom with all the best parts in it.

Looks good to me, I have been wanting a new computer but the funds just aren't there, so until then, I will just have to make due with this computer, its perfect for what I need it for anyways. But I don't think I'd go with Dell again, probably custom build one.

AMD for the win. I've got a dual core. That is one fast Mo' Fo' and a brilliant multi-tasker.

Personally, I've never bothered with AMD processors. Although Intel processors are a little more expensive, I've always found them to be reliable.

I have a Dell laptop, Inspiron 8600, with 60 Gigabytes and 1 Gig of RAM. I have had this computer for 2 years and I have not used up all of these Gigabytes.
