    Hi,

    I am currently looking for a replacement for my 6 year old Dell desktop. I am limited on price due to the fact that my parents control the pocket book. I like both computers very much and I like my current vaio but that is starting to get a little sluggish too. so i was wondering what you guys think about the CR models and the FZ models. both computers are pushing the price limit so any suggestions as to lowering price would be helpful.

    thank you,

    Don

    There's already a thread like this.

    Anyway, I say CR (since I got one and love it). No matter which one you choose, DEFINITELY go with 2GB of RAM.
