I am a big gamer -and- a big office app person, so, I think it's going to be
a good choice for me. I actually went ahead and purchased it since the price
was far less then what I was estimating. Plus, my current desktop is a P3
500 mhz, so I've been looking to upgrade for a while now. Plus, I wanted to
get the purchase in before the end of the year (oh how I love sending all of
my money to the government).
When my machine comes in, if people are interested, I'll post my
impressions.
