Listen... your system is pretty nice.

And it sounds to me you really want the "if something fails, I want someone to yell at"... so go Dell.

Just a suggestion: I recomend you do not post on these forums for this kind of subjects. 98% here have built their own machines and, whereas not as many are knowledgeable, most recognize AMD as the best processor solution.

I think the sort of opinions you are looking for could be found on the forums at C|Net.

Strictly answering your question, Pentium D is a better choice.

Wrong ! The Pentium D is never the better choice. You ar the one who has to live with his concience when he's pissed at what he bought.

Soooo... given the choice of ONLY Pentium 6xx or Pentium D 8xx... you'd still chose a P4 6xx?

Please explain.

Also, from what I've seen, I appear to be the only person who has strictly answered his question and understands what he wants. Our OP pal here, has made up his mind and WILL buy a Dell (you did get that, no?).

Dell's cooling solutions are far from best, but certainly ideal for the processor in use. Recently saw a 9100 in person... certainly not the best, but it works and does so well.

I am an AMD supporter, too... but I am also a computer reseller, and I can understan when a client has set his/her mind on something.

Just as an FYI, you can get the same system with an AMD X2 3800 from HP for ~$1600 already built as well...
