Hand-built pc will tipically be more stable and faster. This comes with

Thats what I thought, I knew I was not mad
when I told my roomy that I prefer to hand
select hardware types, he kept telling me
that "parts is parts" and I said
"shyeah, and monkeys will fly out
of my butt".

I *thought* so, I experienced this when I used to
have an imaginemail account (BOO LYCOS and WhoWhere!) for shutting
it down! Anyway, my trick was to bring up the handydandy
little kedit and type my mail all in there and then

I might give 7.1 a try if my current version becomes

It's my experience that pre-built systems are loaded so full of crap when
you buy them, it's surprising they run at all.
When friends of mine buy pre-built comps ( against my advice of couse :) ),
I always just format the HD, re-install windoze, and then install just the
software they want.
