I have to brag about my latest purchase |
Wed, Feb 13 2008 8:28 PM | Permanent Link |
David | 2 weeks ago, I picked up a new gaming machine at Best Buy.
Acer Aspire computer with an Intel Core 2 quad-core 2.6GHz processor, 2 GB of RAM, 500 GB SATA drive, gigabit Ethernet, media reader, firewire, the rest of the standard stuff, and Vista Home Premium. The price? Normally $750. On closeout for $549. Open box (reseal with Best Buy tape) so I got them to lower the price to $499. I signed up to switch from dsl to Comcast cable so the price dropped to $399. I had a $75 Best Buy gift card from Christmas. Final price was $325 + tax. The final kicker? Even though the box was resealed with best buy tape, the computer had never been booted or even taken out of the box. Somehow the original box tape was broken so they had to retape it. This thing is smokin' fast. |

David | Vista isn't that bad.
Sure, the machine has a quad core processor, 2 GB of RAM, and a 7950 PCIe video card, so there is a lot of fast hardware here, but Vista runs smoothly. I have tweaked Vista to turn off the UAC warnings.
