    that you can build a system with 2 7800GTs and a AMD 4000+, and performance ram, windows xp home etc (about $1650) for less than the basic Dell XPS 600 that has just one 6800GT and a P4 630 (3GHz)($1800)
    I feel so bad for the poor uneducated people who throw there money down the drain for that.

    That's true, but the sad fact is that most people don't know the difference between AOL and the Internet, or the difference between Windows and MS Office. Trying to explain the finer points of advanced PC hardware configurations to users like that is like explaining astrophysics to a goat.

    I know i just sad to see people who spend $2600 on a 1800 or 1900 dollar system
    as for trying to explain it Ive tried it with my freinds who were trying to secretly take teh CPU from the parents P4 system and put it in there Athlon XP system, and knowing that i have built a computer they still argued with me.

    Yeah, the only problem with running Linux is how expensive and insecure it is! At least MS tells us so, so it must be true.
