Hi,

I seem to have a choice between 3 model's of computers. One is a dell optiplex gx620, Gateway e-4300 or a HP d530. All are p4's. They are to be used on a network. Just wondering if any body had any issues or preferences with any of these models. Any help would be appreciated.

If these will be in "Mission Critical" applications use an IBM product all of those that you listed have their weak points but the main one will be the time taken for service and if you are using them to make money that will be the killer as they will cost you far more in down time than the purchase price.

However if they are for a Home network for playing games any will do get the best deal that you can but make sure that they all come with XP Pro installed as the Home version just isn't as good on the networking side of things.

x86 based computers pretty much all resemble each other and perform pretty much the same.[pretty much they all are made by the same mfg, just different lables slapped on em and different OEM install CDs. What distingushes brands is their service.
