Hi all,
Read through the "new computer specs" thread, and contacted Gene (Thank you!!!!) directly when building my computer.....almost pressed the order button on a Dell XPS M1730 fully loaded (with XP Pro) with the exception of the 1GB graphics card, but retreated because husband caught me. EEEKed at the price although i managed to get a $700 discount out of the sales guy with free 3yr ext warranty. Dang!!! Soooooooooooooooooooo,
now I am looking at other options......the XPS M1530....basically a gummed down version of the M1730 except that I'll lose my Raid harddrive of 640GB, and possibly the dual layer DVD writer. And the kicker, the M1530 only comes with VISTA, unless I go through the grunge work myself on installing XP Pro....(gosh, that just does not sound like fun :()
the BIG question: those with VISTA running CS3 and Lightroom......what are the cons??????
Thanks much for helping me spend my money
Denise
