Sounds like a good way to spend it. Is that enough hard drive?

i don't like these mulit processors. right now, very few apps and very limited OS's actually utilize the extra processors. they have retarded speed for alleged multi app capability. IMO, anything beyond 2, is, at this time, a waste. unfortunately, you can't really purchase much else.

My first computer when I went off to college was a Gateway. Biggest piece of shit ever. All the features kept malfunctioning.
I had it exchanged for a Dell, which I have been happy with ever since.
Perhaps I just got a lemon. And this was about six years ago.
