Funny Stuff
HP, Compaq, Dell, IBM, Gateway, etc... all buy the same motherboards, hard drives, optical drives, processors and memory from the same sources and then have them assembled by 3rd parties many of whom build for more then one if not all of them and yet you have pundits calling one OEMs junk and anothers the greatest. Grow up folks, there all the same! An ATI card is no better because it came in a Dell rather then a Gateway. I have personally visited factories that were building HPs, Dells, Gateways and Macs all at the same time. Shop for your PCs based on price and features. And for those who think they can build a better PC for cheaper themselves, please get a clue. You do not have the discount purchasing power to compete with the big guys. The retail versions of ATI, Creative Labs and the others are no better then the OEM versions.
