[QUOTE="AxeMan - Rick S., post: 26231, member: 1746"] It's like buying a car. Do you buy a Ford, or do you buy a Chevy? I have had nothing with bad luck with HP or any HP in the family. Back in the day of my last HP they loaded it up with a bunch of their software, which I did not care for. I'm going back ten years or more maybe things have changed since then. Right now I'm using a Dell it been running 24 /7 for the last two years, outside of an air cleaning every six months. I have had nothing but luck with it. It's all personal taste if you ask me, all computers are IBM clones and made from the same basic parts. You get what you pay for. For Desktops I like Dell, for laptops I like Toshiba. The Toshiba's have a lower Mortality rate. I'll have to echo what others said here check your software for 64 bit compatibility and load that new computer up with tons of RAM. When I made the switch from 32 bit to 64 bit I only ran into two programs that was not 64 bit compatible. Both of those were written over ten years ago, and more than likely for windows 98 or ME and that is why they don't run for me. [/QUOTE]
