DK, RE: "whereas CPQ has never really had any top-performers" Whose stop watch did you use? Suggest you look in some of the PC Mag archives. Most purchases of PCs, are quite subjective. People use plausible features and hearsay to justify what they wanted anyway. It saves them time and energy that is usually involved in any major product purchase. Rather like buying a car. It usually comes down to a basic emotional decision. I don't want to beat up the PC testers, but their "benchmarks" seldom relate to what you will end up doing on your PC. And, even it one system is faster on spreadsheet, it may be slower on database inquiries. I suggest that buying a PC today is like my wife's picking a horse at the track. Bet on the horse with the jockey in green. Virtually all of the top notch horses are going to finish within .2 seconds of each other after a mile run. So buy the best looking computer from a top flight company with decent after-sale support. If you still can't decide, check with your neigh-bor. :) RW
