Update - yes please!
Blade
Just read your thread with interest - I seem to have spent weeks rather than days browsing the specs for machines and software.
I'm on my third Dell and have always gone for the highest spec I can afford but choosing the machine has been less of a problem than the OS so thanks everybody for your comments re Vista and Windows 7 - I must admit that's been a major factor in my indecision.
Having said that, all this talk about 32 bit and 64 bit is over my head - clearly even more reading is necessary :o)
I'd be grateful if you could let me/us know how you get on, I'm afraid I haven't got Skypilot's expertise so couldn't cope with all of that.
Many thanks if so.
