Dell.ca: Vostro 200 PC w/Core 2 Duo E8400, 250GB HD, 2GB RAM, Vista $429
October 7 Update: This system is once again available. It did originally appear about a month ago, but it remains the best value we've seen on a fast Core 2 Duo system lately.

Vostro 200 PC with Core 2 Duo E8400, 250GB Hard Drive, 2GB RAM - $429
- Intel Core 2 Duo Proc E8400 (3.00GHz,6MB L2Cache,1333FSB) (manually select this upgrade)

- 1 Year Limited Warranty, Next Business Day Onsite Service and Tech Support

You'll need to manually select the E8400 processor upgrade for $100. Other upgrades to consider include dual optical drives for $10 and Microsoft Office Small Business 2007 for $119. For $429, you could have a complete system based on the E8400 processor, one of the fastest dual core processors available.
Since the last time we've seen similar Vostro systems, the hard drive size has been increased from 160GB to 250GB, the RAM has increased in speed from 667mhz to 800mhz. Shipping is free, and there's a 30 day no hassle return policy since this is a Vostro system.

wouldn’t you know it. as soon as i get my new vostro with the e8300 and 160gb HD, they come out with this one. $40 more gets you a faster processor, faster ram and a bigger HD.
do i dare send my current one back? just kidding, because as soon as i would get this current deal a newer one would be out again.

Yeah, that’s a terrible choice between home basic and home ultimate for $180 more.

You have to pay an EXTRA $140 to have XP Pro installed instead? I had to read that 2x before I believed it…

No. You will need to add a decent video card for any current or new game.

Blizzard has always put a lot of effort into making their games playable on a very wide range of computers.
No guarantees of course, but I would bet that SC2 and D3 will be playable on a lot of integrated graphics chipsets (which is what this system comes with by default)—albeit probably at low settings. You do have the option of adding a discrete video card later.

Right off the bat the E8400 is a really fast processor and As far as I know the other main stream sellers, HP,Acer etc are not offering this processor.
However, Dell always strikes me as more expensive, piece for piece, that the other brands.
Am I missing something, is Dell that much better?
