Well, we ordered the E510 with the P4 630 w/HT a few days ago (it was the only option available at the time with $400+ and free shipping). Now today I see they have changed the options to the Pentium D processors still with $400+ and free shipping...darn Dell! :smileysad: I would have probably prefered the Pentium D, just to have the latest technology and make the system not get outdated as quick and to be future proof. I am almost tempted to change the order, but that probably wouldn't be worth the hassle and it would just push the ship date even futher. I'm sure we'll get along just fine with the P4 w/HT. The previous system (5 years old) was 256MB RAM and 1.3GHz P4 and was OK. It was a bit slow at times, but still manageable. It was mostly used for Internet, e-mail, word processing, games (freecell, hearts, solitaire, etc.), picture editing, and video editing a few times.

 

I shouldn't even worry about this; it is my parent's system...not mine, but it is nice to have the latest technologies in a computer when spending that much money.
