Dell Prices

I thought my $250 19in LCD and my $850 pentium D computer was just a bit too cheap.

I wonder if dell might uptick their prices a bit after the earnings miss.

I doubt they would increase prices. They focus on large volume working with an efficient supply chain.
what's to come of dell, will they make it?

Nice, but how did you additionally spec out your new Dell Dimension XPS Gen5 desktop
to suit your requirements for trading and any other specialized uses?

Aside from the dual core CPU issue, you're obviously set up as is to handle a lot more than trading, unless you want to add another 1GB of memory at some point.

A computing stalwart, indeed. See the April PC Magazine review for its closely configured XPS Gen 5:

dualcore -- hyperthreading--
does the OS/software have to be specifically designed to support these new features? for example i remember MMX needed specific codes to take advantage of it.
