    Shof515 thank you very much. I decided to cancel my order because the prices on processors are going to drop also with the new video card. Thanks I appreciate all your guys time.

    Here's a tip lets keep our own little secret right here so the info doesn't become widespread and known.

    Promise please before reading on!

    If yor calling into to any place and getting voice prompts to press this number then that numbner there are 2 tricks you can do to quickly get around all that hassle.

    Trick one, press nothing when prompted to do so, let the message keep prompting you to press something and press nothing.

    or trick 2, just keep pressing 0 even if zero isn't an option your given. One way or the other this should in almost all cases take you directly to a live operator who can transfer you instead directly to the extension your wanting to be at.

    Also, use the online chat service instead, it documents not only who you've talked to exactly, but what exactly was said and you can easily save a record of it.

    Technology is always improving. Why would someone pay the same price that they would have a year ago, also for something that isn't top top of the line. The new T2700 is coming out and the other processors are going to drop in price. If you can wait you may profit from this price drop. Heres one site:

    If you wait...why buy at all? You must not need a computer? It's all a big game like the old Dell G4 to G5 commercial :(

    But, researching and reading on what's working and what gets hot, on these forums, is a smart move before you buy and if you got the time.

    Compared to driving off a new car lot, I like dealing with computer far more. :D

    LOL. Yeah thats true. But if you can know that there is going to be price drop in a month and you can wait, why not. Hey if you can save a hundred bucks it might be worth it. :)
