I\'m getting a new PC for Christmas, and need some help deciding on what kind.

DO NOT, I SAY NOT BUY A DELL MACHINE

I have a p4 1.3ghz, 256mb RD pc800 ram, geforce 2 GTS, 60gb HDD and an extra 40gig HDD and it gets a 3dmark of 450 and thats runninh on win ME

buy AMD, buy Nvidia thats all I have to say

and be sure to get a beefy PSU to power your CPU and Video card

I work at CHnC.. Computer Help and Networking Central. It\'s my brothers buiness. We do have a 1 year warrenty for the CPUs.. But it\'s void if the CPUs overheats and frys.. or is overclocked.  If the cpu doesn\'t work or just stops working without being fryed. Then we will replace it. AMD don\'t even allow a warrenty if it frys.

I forgot you live in Australia, don\'t you?  If you don\'t use AMD approved heatsinks and motherboards or overclock your chip, they will not replace your CPU; that\'s the terms of their warranty.  Also if you buy retail cpu\'s, AMD\'s warranty is for 3 years.

MGR, your problem is not Dell, it\'s Microsoft.  The only thing ME is good for is maybe a flashy Christmas tree ornament.
