Dude, you got a Dell!
Same here, Mac mini 1.6, was a single core, but I converted it to a dual core. That little sucker flys now lol.

Dell laptop, never a problem with a Dell. HP's blow their capacitors and the LCD quits working, Had to replace the caps in two different HP's.

Never a problem with Mac refurbished.

Macs are nice, but they're overpriced because of brand name. Nothing wrong with that, though.

Same deal. Alienware is overpriced, too, considering Dell owns them. Spec out a Dell and Alienware exactly the same and the Alienware runs several hundred more.
