my sister does that.

paid 3 grand for a xps (it does have a nice chip in it QX9650)
but boy does dell put **** RAM in their desktops, she still only gets 5.6 in vista index. due to memory score.

so for 3k

she has this system:
pos intel mobo
pos 4gb dell ram
9800gt
QX9650
huge hard drive with low cache
vista buisness
dell overclock (3.7GHz)

i told her i could have gotten her the parts for simular performance for 1/3 of the price.

she likes the warranty tho :eek: she said.

edit:
dell really gets ppl with their "big" numbers they show in the spec's.
its a wonder why they never say what mobo they use.
alot of ppl will buy a pc soley based on ram size or hard drive size. its sad.
