2 things.

HP has a real nice box AMD 5600 with 3 gig of RAM for 680. It's a desktop not a laptop.
Why VISTA ? Whatever you buy just re-install xp pro on top if you really need windows as native.

Not that I am a fan at all of running oracle in windows but complaining about DLL hell when there is a chance of biting the bullet and doing your own os maintenance if windows is involved? Why? Received on Fri Oct 26 2007 - 17:49:43 CDT
