They also are really tight with the power supply and fans. But the spec is pretty good. Oh and they also use their own cut down bios.

However, you must keep in mind that it is 64 bit, which means that yes - it will take a lot of RAM - but the downside is that you are limited to the programs that are 64 bit compatible. The only thing I would eliminate is the Norton security suite - a resource hog that performs poorly. This is a very nice system.

Most programs designed for a computer running a 32-bit version of Windows will work on a computer running 64-bit versions of Windows. Notable exceptions are many antivirus programs, and some hardware drivers. Drivers designed for 32-bit versions of Windows do not work on computers running a 64-bit version of Windows. If you're trying to install a printer or other device that only has 32-bit drivers available, it won't work correctly on a 64-bit version of Windows. If you are unsure whether there is a 64-bit driver available for your device, go online to the Windows Vista Compatibility Center. http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/Help/41531554-d5ef-4f2c-8fb9-149bdc5c8a701033.mspx#EDH wang sang is WRONG. My Dell is 7 months old and I've upgraded the piss out of it using standard, off the shelf parts from newegg and tiger direct. The only thing that's proprietary is the bios which prevents overclocking. Top of the line processor, plenty of memory, very good graphics card, dual layer burner, yep, that’s a very nice system.
