I went to Best Buy to purchase my new computer and they seemed relatively reasonable here, but there is a lot of competition.
I know you use Dragon NaturallySpeaking, so be careful if you are planning on purchasing a new computer. The Best Buy I went to only had two systems which were not 64-bit. They had the same speed as my old computer which just completely crash two weeks ago, so I know those systems could not possibly carry Vista with Dragon NaturallySpeaking simultaneously. I need up having to go with a system that had 3 GB of memory and a 32-bit system. In case you're wondering, I call Nuance and they had no idea when Dragon will be compatible with a 64-bit system. They told me it definitely wouldn't be this year and possibly not until late next year. This sounds strangely reminiscent of what happened with Vista the first time.
