I've bought a Dimension 8200 from Dell in the last 6 months, and I would advise upgrading to 512 RDRAM, instead of 256, and upgrading to the Geforce 4ti series. TI not MX!!!!!!!!!

With my nearly brand new computer, these are the two upgrades I would make if I had to do it over again, and actually, am now in the process of upgrading.

The upgrade in RDRAM is pretty straight forward. As far as the video card goes, I wouldn't spend the bucks for the 4600. Instead, I would choose between the 4200 and 4400. I may be wrong, but I speak from experience.

Both at work and at home my experience has been that Dell is the better product!

The price may go up a bit with these two upgrades (but it shouldn't be more than $250), but I can promise you, it's a shame to open the box on a brand new, kick ass system only to be slightly/mildly/at all disappointed with it.
