Dell are only good computers if you wants something equivalent to P2, because at their advertising price they sell stuff that can't really do too good. For example, they give 128 MB shared RAM - not very good. Shouldyou try to do any modification - just to raise it to 256, the price jumps to twice as much.

HP on the other hand are very consistent. This summer I got a HP Notebook with 512 RAM 2.66 P4, 60GB HDD, and a 64MB vcard, for $1700. When I tried getting something similar on dell it ended up being over $2100.
I know many people hate HP's and Compaq's, but I think all they need is just a little customization, and they'll work fine, particularly Compaq's. They work best with AMD's 1800+ and 512RAM at least.
