imo the AMD/Intel is not really an issue, performance wise, although it's worth pointing out that the AMD chips don't have the thermal throttling protection that the p4's have.
It's your money, KP, but my 'gut feel' says stick with Dell  |
Heh, its not quite
my money, hence the awkward position / hesitation.....
Personally i prefer the way i have been dealt with by Dell so far, i added another 2 machines to the order today, and they knocked nearly £3k off the total price (so only paid an extra couple of hundred for the 2 new machines)
Insight have called me no less than 9 times in the last 2 hours going backwards and forewards getting information for me....... I just wanna make sure we get the "better" machines for money wise, rather than being screwed in 2 years time....... if that makes sense
