DOES dell still have it??

I may have been befuddled in the past but I am truly befuddled now. I wish to purchase a new comp. I was going to go w/ a Dell 4100 or 8100 but I've heard so many horror stories about it coming crapped up. Then I hear that Athlon is cheaper and better. Is Dell still the best computer maker or should I spend my money ($2000) somewhere else?? Any response would be greatly appreciated!! ThANKS! - NICK

    I am a Technical Support person for the school district in our area. All we purchase now are Dells. I am very happy with the service that Dell provides for our equipment, Plus, the web page support, search and downloads have been a plus for information. I have also in the last few weeks purchase an 8100 and other than wanting to remove ME from my computer and fixing the start up problem due to a PS2 mouse driver it has been one sweet pc....

    Hi Nick,

    I received my new 4100, 866 Jan. 2, and It works perfect. I was expecting a problem or two with AOL
    and Windows ME, but everything works.

    I just networked my old Dell XPS D266 to the new
    866.

    I think Dell is the best!

    I bought my 4th Dell in July 2000. Had very, very minor problems with it, but they were quickly resolved. I honestly believe Dell still has it. We have Gateway and HP's at work and have continuous problems and no real support.
