With me I would rather know that I am getting the latest and greatest video card, processor, etc. The thing that torks me off about Dell is the overly gigantic hard drives come standard, but the memory is missing.

I worked in Garner for about 6 months, and lived in Forest City for about 5 years. I bet I know both clients.
