Re: ''The only one I would consider is the XPS 4th Gen.''
Perhaps you may consider the future with dual core processors and the XPS Gen 5:

and also the high end dual core computers that go to overclocked 4.0GHz

Then again, maybe wait more than a month and see what else develops both in AMD and Intel Dual Core Processors.
Hello everyone,
I'm new to this forum and I really could use some advice. I am going to be buying a new pc in a month and I haven't decided on anything yet. I have had a couple of Dell's in the past. The only one I would consider is the XPS 4th Gen. I use my pc for alot of multimedia, some pc games, and alot of school work. I would prefer not to build my own pc because I am not that advanced in computers. I looked at alienware.com and I didn't like how you have to open the compartment to open the cd or dvd compartments. I wanted to put together my own pc but in a month and with minimal knowledge I just don't see how that's possible. I got ripped off the last time I went to a mom and pop store and had them build me a pc from the ground up. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
