[pchelpers] Re: processors, which do you prefer?

It's ok, don't worry about it!
I talked to him about having a pc made for him, but he said no.  At least now 
he's
said I can look at Dell's AND Gateway Computers.  : )  So, I'm back to checking 
out
options again.

I find one I like part of it, do some configuration changes, but the choices 
seem to
be Win XP or Win 2000  / or  Win XP or Win ME.  No changing things around or 
getting
98SE on the ones I like.  That's a bummer.  So, it's taking me a little longer 
to do
this than I like.

I do appreciate the help.

My comment was a knee jerk reaction at seeing the Dell name.  Sorry.  I know
you have been working on this buy for  some time now and it is always tough
buying for someone else.

I like either of the chips.  For my work in a computer store I prefer the
Pentium.  For most household work and internet access the Celeron is good.

Your brother,
Robert
