Pomp, I'm going to suggest a change to the configuration (to add a sound card and speakers). * P4 (probably a 1.3G, but we don't really care about the speed). * 128M RDRAM * 56K Modem * 10G Hard drive (minimum) * CD-ROM drive * 17" monitor * Video card (don't care about specs) * Sound card and speakers * Windows (some version) * Don't care about any other bundled apps Dave

A P4 as described by Dave paid by all the participants to the winner (WHOEVER it is, also Bilow and Dan3 if they participate ;-) , but max. 15 bucks per person) what do you think of it ??? Thanks Orion

P4 Contest - I think you're there now... Check this out, and consider that it includes a 40 gig hard drive and DVD player (worth at least $100 more than your "reference" system. Add a 19" M991 Gray Monitor (18.0" viewable) for only $249 This system features: Dimension 8100 (Midnight Gray Chassis) Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor at 1.4GHz 128MB RDRAM 32MB DDR ATI Radeon 4X AGP Graphics Card 40GB1 Ultra ATA Hard Drive 12X Max Variable DVD-ROM Turtle Beach Santa Cruz DSP Sound Card Microsoft® Windows® Millenium Edition and Works Suite 2001 3-Year Limited Warranty2 Monitor sold separately Prices (including $175 discount) start at: $1,090 dell.com Of course, the reason it's so cheap is that it's a returned refurbished system - evidently Dell has so many returned P4/Rambus systems they are reduced to holding special promotions to get rid of them. I wonder why so many returned P4's are available? If they're only a few percent of sales, and there is any demand for them at all, why are they the featured "returned" system?
