Maxer - you are comparing CPQ's low price home system to Dell's commercial system. CPQ has the professional workstation line which is targeted at designers and CAD/ CAM EAD types. I am typing this on one, a PPRO dual processor system with ELSA 3D graphics (not to be confused with Matrox and other '3D' acceleration, ELSA is about 5 times the performance of Matrox on 3D), 256MB RAM, fast SCSI, running NT Workstation. I do mostly program development and debug on this. It cost me about $5,500 a year ago, and shows no signs of being out of date yet. They're not MACs (yet!) but they are way ahead of current Dell offerings. These machines are really targeted against Sun SPARC workstations, waiting on application software (of course) to really be credible as a MAC replacement in the graphics design market.
