...iMac 2.4Ghz Core2 duo w/2GB RAM; 20" monitor; dvd/cd combo drive. 320GB HD; 256MB Video; Wireless LAN adapter, 1-year warranty - $1550.
Dell - 2.4Ghz Core2 duo w/2GB RAM; 20" monitor; dvd/cd combo drive. 250GB HD; 256MB Video; Wireless LAN adapter, 3-year warranty - $1301 ($1639 without discount)... I don't know, Larry. Yes, the cost of "brand-name" PCs are moving into parity with Macs somewhat. I don't think a Dell desktop with accessible PCI-E slots and room for a second internal disk drive vs. the integrated iMac that's not really user-upgradeable is quite a valid comparison. I recently bought my daughter a custom-built PC system from PC Club. Pretty much like the Dell you quoted with Core2Duo, 20" monitor, etc. etc., the only difference being it has two 250GB drives. I paid $1282 for it. I will admit I'm not hearing good things about Vista at this point in time. Fortunately I was able to get this computer with Windows XP, and she's had no trouble with it. I use a PentiumD box for my audio projects. I should be able to pop a Core2Duo CPU into it as soon as the price on it comes down a bit more

"Defeatist Pessimists and Rose Colored Glasses Optimists are lonely companions, victims even. Both ideologies imply predestined outcomes, and therefore breed inactivity in its victims. Inaction is the only sure way to lose at anything in life. All positive action guarantees at least a fighting chance." -Brian Austin Whitney
