So I've got the DSL installed, got the router installed, and downloads are certainly faster. But my 128mb memory and my 333mhz Celeron processor are limiting my ability to open multiple windows and just generally give the appearance of being slower than I'd hoped.
I think I want to buy a new desktop machine with larger disk capacity,faster processor and more memory, but I don't want to spend a fortune, because I'm probably going to have to spend about $450 for the latest MS-Office package.
Circuit City and Office Depot each feature e-Machines at the low end and Compaq/HP or Sony at the upper end. I know virtually nothing about e-Machines except that one of the guys at Office Depot says he's had very little return or complaint about them. I've heard one negative comment about HP; Compaq (same company, I know) hasn't crossed my radar screen in a long time.
Anyone got any stories/advice to share?
