The reason you can't find anything close is that Dell does not offer that confing so it's not an apples to apples comparison. ex. minimum RDRAM from Dell is 256MB. However, your'e right, GTW does give a pricing advantage at or near that config especially in 2G pricing. Try some ot the other configs mentioned in my previous post and you'll see a reversal. However, since you included a flat panel display, it's worth mentioning that Dell has a much higher quality offering in this dept. Gateway sources their FP's from GoldStar (cheeeep, not crisp and spotty quality) whereas Dell uses Samsung. For me personally, the monitor is not an area to skimp on quality. It's hard to do an apples to apples comparison in a lot of cases simply due to the quality of peripherals which are not evident when just putting pricing together. If you dig to find out who the manufacturers are, and know something about their brand/quality, it's easier to find the better deal. Sometimes it's Dell, sometimes GTW, sometimes CPQ. And they can flip flop overnight. MEATHEAD
