Since when is the 3.06GHz P4 an 800 FSB processor?

I can't find a combination that fits it.

even if It did, Dell doesn't support overclocking... so, I say it just goes to show how much the people at Dell know about processors and speed ;)

I prefer to have someone who knows what the damn numbers mean build it

I wanted one that I could keep everything in. My other case was cramped with my dually, and this way cooling isn't an issue. I couldn't close my other case or it would over heat.

That's not a case, it's a closet! :)

Nope, my system is not as nice, but I bet I could beat him in an FPS or Racing game!

Im sorry, but am I the only one who doesn't believe that Michael Dell uses that pc?

Its just that someone worth over a billion dollars and owns one of the largest computer companys in the world, should have alot better rig than that. I think its a sales tactic. "Oh yaay...I wanna be just like Michael Dell and go buy a XPS!!! *sarcasm*

I don't find it that hard to believe. Its a pretty nice machine and I am sure it does what he wants. Its also no shock that he uses a Dell. As far as having tons of money meaning you have stuff way better then the average joe, remember that study that showed that the most popular car for people with over 1 million dollars was the Ford Taurus?

mr dell porlly doesnt spend allday playing games or ripping dvds so why would he need a better system? esp considering he got that one for free

Uh, this computer is just about top of the line (based on Intel CPUs), just missing a P4 EE, and a Radeon9800 XT. You can't get "alot better rig than that".

Though, it would be kinda funny if he actually used an AMD AthlonFX 51 :)

But yeah, I do agree that he probally doesn't use all those computers, or any of those accessories.

Well if I am ever worth 1% of what he is, I will certainly not be using a XPS. Although that will never happen, but I can dream.

So that surgery worked out for you then? I was wondering why you changed your name from blackangstroms.

Come on. Everyone knows you need that kind of power to surf the web for porn.:D
When the women on the porn videos tell him that he has a big tool, you know he thinks they
are talking about his computer and the size of his RAM.:D
What do you think he is using it for, spreadsheets?
