RE: fastest yes, most expensive - not hardly When I said most expensive machines, I referring to the fact that in the last DELL catalogue I received, most of the machines were priced over $1,800. I am sure they are worth every penny and then some. But I bought a $1,000 machine with an AMD 450 from BBY, and it cooks. Added another 64MB Ram (128MB total now) for $69, after mail-in rebate, and a $19.95 net gear PCI 100mb NIC, and I have a strong machine for crunching my data intensive spreadsheets. The funny thing is, I have 3 Gateways. Nice machines, but this time, all I needed was raw no frills power. The cheep machine was just the ticket. Oh yea, that $499 internet appliance won't play Decent 3 or what ever the latest hottest games is, but for 80% of PC computing needs, it is amply powerful enough. Not to mention you get a color printer and a low quality monitor and speakers too. Throw in some free MSFT Internet software, and you can dance on the net with the big boys. Jim
