go for the xps gen 5 as it has the new intel dual cores.
However...
i would suggest building ur own computer with amd processor and sli mobo. suggesting amd socket 939 cuz future amd dual core will be supported by any mobo with socket 939 socket and a bios upgrade. the amd dual cores are faster than the intel ones. trust me u want to get a amd.
Which computer is the best?
The limit for my configurations is between 2,000 and 2,300 USD. I only want 2.1 sound, but I want a good graphics card, RAM,processor, memory 200gb+ windows xp home, windows small business productivity software, at least a 15 inch lcd screen. Which one should I choose for usually just applications such as word, powerpoint, internet explorer, but also some gaming?
