Dorine, I've no complaints with my Dell P100, purchased in Nov. of 1995. Had an early problem with the #9 video card, but they sent out a techie to replace it on site. I would probably buy a Dell before I bought a CPQ machine, but that's just because I believe Dell puts a little more effort into giving you a superior performing machine, whereas CPQ has never really had any top-performers. IBM Aptivas are nice, and competitively priced also. I like GTW machines also. Have not known anyone to buy an HP PC, so don't know there. You'll never regret buying a Dell though, IMO.

Dorine, Re: New PC Purchase 400 MHZ Before you decide, you might want to check out Gateway. I just finished a thorough comparison and the Gateway was actually cheaper in addition to having a few niceities thrown in that the Dell unit didn't have. I purchased mine pretty much loaded but without monitor and saved $150 or so by choosing Gateway. The main thing though was the lack of support I received on my first PC-Dell (true it was long ago) and the truly fantastic support I received on PCs #2 & 3 - Gateways. PC #4 was Compaq laptop - ehhhhhh, but #5 is back to Gateway and should receive the screamer next week. Happy buying....
