    Computer help please

    I need almost $1800 to buy this little beauty (XPS600) so I can finally play Civ4.

    However I'm kinda broke after my trip. Can you help? The full amount is needed, thanks.

    Joking (except about the broke part)....what do you think of the machine? Will it play Civ4?

      My dad just bought an XPS600. It's big, not too loud but not too quiet. Lots of fans, though.

      Decent computer. Pentium Ds aren't the best for gaming, but if you want the support & warranty Dell offers, I guess it's good.

          Athlon X2s are better for gaming, or even just single Athlon 64 CPUs.

          Dell doesn't sell consumer AMD CPUs, so you'd need to go elsewhere (local shop, HP, etc). You can get extended warranties on everything, but usually Dell's is held in a high regard.

            I bought a Gateway FX510S dual core to play Civ 4 also.

              My alternative is to buy a handheld computer to help pass the long, late couple of hours at work. Not much happens from 11:00 PM until the final rush at 1AM...

              However, besides seeing a few advertisements for a couple of interesting looking strategy games, I know nothing about handhelds. So, anything anyone knows would be a help...
