Re: Can you beat this price?
Hmmmmmmmm....... Sorry Ted. Unless it is some thing stupid like you forgot to plug it in...........then I agree with you. It was not tested prior to leaving the factory. If THAT is true ....then what else is true? Remeber if I recall correctly that Packard Bell ( I think was the company) was using old parts for new machines......I have been tempted from time to time to get a DELL....However having read several disconcerting comments and now your experience clinches it for me. DEEP SIGH......

Yeah,HP and Dell sells crap machines from time to time,but as far as I am concerned,the products for the american market are usualy cutting edge regarding the quality....Nimzovik wrote:Hmmmmmmmm.......

Well,just take a look at notebook made by HP,I am talking about the same model....one is for the american market,one is for eastern europe and another one which is being sold in Dubai duty free for example....Nimzovik wrote:Americans...cutting edge....could you elaborate?
Best design,best parts and best services is for the american market and the prices are even cheaper in the USA....

Hm.. So.. in terms of bang for buck and company reliability it (HP) is generally a safe bet (despite the occasional lemon) as opposed to dell and others in terms of computer companies for the massess......Yes?

Oi malandro ... yes is a much better card, but for chess I think it is not needed and usually I look for the lowest electrical drain on the PS as possible to keep it all for the CPU's. I usually like a "fanless" VGA card ... but definetely the 8800GT is much much better card ... and $69 it is a steal!Albert Silver wrote:I prefer the Gigabyte nVidia 8800GT PCI-E ($69) after mail-in rebate, but we´re talking about a card that outperforms the 7300GT by a lot.M ANSARI wrote:XFX Nvidia 7300 GT PCI Express VGA ($33)

Thanks Gerold for sharing your story with Dell,it does confirm my impression about Dell's service qualitygerold wrote:The hp guarantee is ok.
