I wouldn’t even know if we have a dedicated computer shop locally these days. All purchases off the net. Coincidentally, the e7300 is roughly what I am targeting as well.
So, after looking around at the overpriced packaged systems being offered to fill my needs, the ol CCard and hrs of shopping in my recliner ensued. I'm doing these 2 for the price of 1 store bought frozen.
btw, that Q6700 is a great video processor if running a 8500 GT / 512 MB equivalent or higher.
My job also entails me to keep up with such though I work primarily with optical communications.
Anyway, still doesn't prevent downloading / uploading a trojan, virus etc.
Well, I can say one thing, glad I've managed my credit well as to have a CCard for the above....otherwise, I'd been stuck with shopping for less than I want for more money.
