What AMD dual core did you get? Just curious.

I clean my computers on a regular basis - I bought a little vacuum
cleaner
thingy deal a few years ago and it works great. And the difference
between
keeping a computer on the floor and the desk is amazing in terms of
dust and what not.

It is an AMD Athlon 64x2 Dual Core 4200+. Just before I purchased this
system, I purchased a Intel Dual Core from Dell, which I had to return
due to a defective hard drive. The AMD was a "similar" speed to the
Intel, but I could not believe the difference in the performance of the
computers.

I am sure part of the difference was the outrageous number of "DEMO's
and ADWARE" Dell loaded into their computer, but the I could tell a
world of difference between the AMD and the Intel. My results match up
with the test results I had read concerning the AMD and Intel chips.

I noticed Michael Dell has returned as CEO of Dell computer. If you do
a search on "Dell Sucks" (using quotes) you get 38,000+ hits, and if you
do a search on "Dell Hell" (using quotes) you get over 68,000 hits, it
looks like he should have come back sooner. I am one of the growing
number of Ex-Loyal Dell Customers who would be very hesitant to buy
another Dell.
