Loving My New Computer!
Got a fantastic package deal – it’s worth haggling a little at Best Buy! W00T!
Dell Inspiron i530-111B
- Intel Core2 Q9300 Quad-Core Processor (6MB L2 cache, 2.5GHz, 1333 FSB)
- 6GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM Memory at 667MHz – 4 DIMMS (2×2GB, 2×1GB)
- 750GB Hard Drive (7200 RPM)
- DVD+/-RW (Plays and writes CDs and DVDs)
- 256MB ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT
- Integrated 7.1 Channel Audio/Dell Speakers
- 19-in-1 Media Card Reader
- USB Keyboard and Mouse
Samsung 22″ Wide-Screen Monitor
This was thrown in so they could call it a package deal:
Canon PIXMA MP470 All-in-One Printer, 22 PPM, 4800×1200 DPI, Color
And I got an HP webcam too.
It just barely topped the limit required to get 2-year no interest financing. I’ll pay it off in 6 months or so.
Of course, I was home with everything opened before I remembered that I could have saved a bit of money if I had been able to wait until the tax holiday at the end of the month…. nah!
The system comes with Vista Home Premium installed, and so far it’s fine. I bought WinXP Professional a few days ago, but I may stay with Vista for while and see how it goes.
Sounds like a very sweet deal, Heidi! Naturally, I prefer my Mac.

Sounds like a fab deal! Yay for you!
I recently purchased a new laptop for my birthday and it’s the bomb! 320 GB hard drive, tons of memory and I love it! I did take Vista off and replace it with XP Pro but mostly because it works better with everything else in my house!
Have fun!

CONGRAT! i’m still getting accustomed to my new Vista computer after my XP crashed… So far everything’s fine but it’s taking a lot of adjustment and tweaking to get everything “just so”…. know what i mean??
