    Better for the price, a base 1520 will be around the same price and offer some better options like bigger HDD and I'm assuming more RAM (prob. double) but can't tell for sure because that's not on the list to posted...at least that I can find. Oh, and you get a better looking machine too!

    The 1520 is a just a great deal. I got my system for right under 1.2k. I can't wait to get it!

    Yes you have a great deal there. Don't listen to these guys above. For $750 thats an amazing deal there. They are talking about $1000+ systems

    only thing i dont like about your config is the 667 fsb cpu.. imo i would get the newer santa rosa 800mhx fsb mainly to be able to be more compatable later if you want to upgrade..

    But the 1520 is well over 750.00. and I am not trying to go over 750. So do you guys think i can find better for this price? and is the santa rosa that big of a improvement? because i can get a slower santa rosa system for the same price. (1.6 santa rosa vs 2.0 merom)
