The x1400 is a better card for less money. Other than that looks like a nice setup. I can't really comment on the price as I haven't kept up to date with coupons/dell's pricing lately.

Edit: consider saving some money by going down to the 2.0 GHz C2D. Likely you will never notice the difference.

 

That is WAY overpriced

 

i would have to agree.

i got that for 14xx after tax and shipping

 

Unfortunately, no. I would recommend lowering the processor to the 2GHz, upping the RAM to at least 1GB, and swapping the nVidia 7300 for the ATi x1400. Then, look at the coupons at the top of the page and see what you can get from there.

 

pretty good deal and a nice setup

 

Are you serious?
Almost everything is from the basic setup. It's way to expensive

 

does dell have the x1400?

i could drop the processor speed to compensate for the card but there doesn't seem to be a lot of selections with a 2.0ghz dual core 2 processor and the x1400 plus wireless built-in and bluetooth

Ummmm... no.

 

thx, is there a significant different between a 2.0ghz dual core 4mb cache and anything else faster?

 

Not really

 

No. The t7400 is pretty much the top of the heap for notebooks right now. The 2.16 will not give you a noticeable boost in performance.

 

how about a 2.33ghz?

 

you can buy a car for the price of a 2.33ghz processor

you are unlikely to notice any difference between 2ghz and 2ghz+ processors simply because 2ghz should be plenty for whatever you're doing.

 

if there was a price diff of about $100 to upgrade to a 2.16ghz processor would you take it?

 

No. The only reason I have it is because I got a deal on this system and it's what it came with.
