Dell laptops are garbage and Alienware laptops are overpriced. That's my opinion. Buy something else. Take a look at Lenovo.

For what you plan on having this machine do, I really don't see any problem with going socket 754 and saving even more, especially if you're not worried about upgrading. I doubt for what she'll do with this machine that the absence of dual channel memory will make any discernible difference...

Why a prebuilt? If the original poster knows enough to build a machine, he/she can provide any support the parents may need, and likely without being on hold for who knows how long. Besides, if the parents do want something added in after a year or so, a prebuilt makes it tough, as they...

Well, most of you are correct in that it's a beta OS and a company cannot really be expected to have drivers out. However, if Asus was as **** hot as most of you seem to think they are, maybe they should have out drivers after all. If they had these drivers out weeks ago, some of you would be...

As a reseller, we have been carrying less and less WD drives over the last year as we have had more than the usual number of returns over the past two years or so. Not exactly sure whay this is so, but it is. We have been doing much better with our Seagates and Samsungs.

Are you sure you got a good download? Perhaps it corrupted. Download a new copy and try it again. If that doens't work, post back.

Hmmm. Almost 36000 posts in the Asus forum under motherbaords, with next closest being Gigabyte under 7000. I think the facts are straight.

You're not likely to make too many friends here in Asus fanboy-land with this stuff. Sorry about your plight. When I see so many Asus fanboys in one place, like Tom's forum, I cannot help but wonder how many of them have ever even tried boards from other manufacturers. I think a lot start...

You may have to do some modification work on the front panel connectors, as they quite likely are in some proprietary format that will only fit on a board from Compaq without modifications to the front panel connectors. Foxconn has some nice mATX boards.

Whether Corsair is king or not, they still want your money, all big companies do.

Newegg is everywhere. This is getting scary.

Most free anti-spyware applications are not proactive, meaning they will only remove spyware that has already installed. I recommend a good proactive one like PestPatrol or Spyware Doctor, but you'll have to pay as they are not free. I think they are worth paying for as it's better to prevent...

I'd take this monitor over the Westinghouse. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16824009091
