Dear Lazyweb, re: Vista
Nov. 23rd, 2008 07:22 pmHey, fellow geeks: Soon it will be time for me to buy a new PC. I'm looking at a number of things, from the HP Paviliaion d5100t to the Dell Studio XPS to the Falcon NW Fragbox. I have two questions:
1) What's your favorite muscle box, that you'd recommend I look at? I'm hoping to keep the whole thing under or not much over $3K.
2) Everyone's offering Vista, and I'm hearing I'll have to jump through hoops, spend extra money, and spend lots of time on the phone to downgrade from Vista to XP. Has M$ fixed Vista to the point that it's safe to use, or should I gear up for the headaches?
