      Good deal with Blue Ray?

      I was thinking of downgrading to Windows XP 64 bit or should I hold out till Windows 7 64 bit?

      HP sucks. Dell also sucks.

      Not a bad deal. However, I personally would wait for deals with higher clock freq or i5/i7 prices to drop. For applications that do not take advantage of the quad cores, this 2.2GHz AMD CPU won't perform that well.

      # 2 is an rodeo cowboy. Both HP and Dell are good product lines. The only question is cost.

      On this deal, if I had a reason to buy a new desktop, this meets my requirements.

      I'd also be surprised if it did not offer a win 7 upgrade.

      Actually #4 is the rodeo cowboy. I have had many HPs and Dells over the years, and all of them gave me trouble before 6 months. Pure garbage. So suck it #4.
