Jim P., even better. CHECK this out!
I did some research and determined that the Compaq Deskpro EP was more like the Dimension than the Optiplex. I went back to www.dell.com, and found a comparable system.
Unfortunately, DELL wouldn't let me strip down the computer as much as Compaq would, so I had to keep on-site service, and Office 97.
Also, DELL wouldn't let me configure it with the smaller hard drive, the smaller video card, or the slower cd-rom that Compaq uses (I guess Compaq still have them in inventory).
But nevertheless, DELL still beats Compaq.
