Which Operating System to Order
Hi all I hope some of you here can help...I am getting ready to order a
new pc through my company. I can save about five hundred dollars it looks to me. Comparing apples to apples that is what I come up with. At any rate Im confused as to which operating system I want. First of all I don't need xp professional at all. I am choosing between XP home edition and the Multimedia edition. I am going to order the XPS Gen 4 gaming machine, even though I am not a gamer at all, simply because of my saving I actually do better with that machine than the 8400 models and also because it looks much more expandable to me..Also I am trying to choose which monitor I want between the 2005fwp and the 2001fp I know they are both fine monitors but the widescreen would probably fit on my desk better as the height is actually a little lower at its lowest point. Im just wondering if the monitor will be fine for doing the interntet, spreadsheets, word processing or if its specifically built for multimedia. My wife and I intend on doing mostly internet, word processing, spreadsheets, and getting more into digital photography, and home movies and the like, and Im also wondering if I want the dual tv tuner with the system since in my case its only a 33 dollar upgrade. And can you watch tv just hooking up the cable to the tv tuner card or do you have to have a set top box.. I know the dual tuner is to make it possible to watch one program and record another and all that stuff but Im really not interested in all that on the computer I have home entertainment stuff that takes care of all that stuff. Well thank you all so so much for listening to all of my questions...Thank you very much in Advance. Oh one last question. I see that Dell offers the Deluxe Record now and also the Deluxe Dvd Recording software, is that software ok or is better to just get a full blown version of Roxio 7. I have seen many posts on here about what software one gets with a system. Whether you get the cds, dvds, or just the software preloaded, maybe someone can answer that question. I will say one thing I know for sure as I talked to a salesperson at dell and he said that definitely if you are interested in the Basic Microsoft Office program that you definitely do not get the Software only preloaded so that makes that one a no brainer...Im just wondering what software you recieve with your system and what software you don't...Once again thanks in advance...Andy |
