Living up the topic I got myself a new Dell Studio 15 laptop computer for University and general media purposes.

Contents:

Intel P7350 2.0 Ghz
4 GB DDR2 800 RAM
320 GB 5400 rpm HD.
ATi Radeon 4570 512 MB graphics card.

[BeefJeRKy]

Price? That should be 600-1000 euros I'm guessing?

[Shirou]

650 for the complete package, however it's a rushed deal because I needed something for University. Dell used to have a lot of discounts over the past couple of months which would have allowed me to get a better setup for the money, only problem was I did not have the money yet by then :(

You're seriously running 2 gigs of RAM in 2011?

[Dauth]

I'm more shocked about the fact he's still running a 32bit OS

[Kaido]

Yeah I'm going to get 4 GB in next month

and don't forget a new PSU, and Processor, and motherboard, and vid card, and...

oh well

If you would give me the money, I would gladly do it!

[Dauth]

Consider that there was a 64 bit release of XP in 2005 and you see how far behind it is to be on 32 bit. Especially since Linux and Apple were faster into the 64 bit market.

I stayed away from it because it had compatibility problems back then. Also, I still use some older programs/games, from which I'm not sure if they will run on 64bit OS.

[Alias]

Unless it's 16 bit it'll run on 64 bit fine.
