First decision, Intel or AMD? Is Intel worth the extra $$$ over AMD? For a price an Intel dual core I can get an AMD quad core.
Second, what brand? Many wouldn't touch Dell with a 10-foot pole but I don't have bad experience with Dell. How about HP, Gateway, Sony (extra $$)...? It seems build to order models are more expensive than already built models for a comparative spec.
I am not a gamer just web brownsing, photo editing, watching video download, DVD burning, the usual MS Office Suite stuffs, and may be video editing in the near future.
I am sure I want at least 500G HD, preferrably 750G or 1TG, and 6G in memory.
