    So are you saying wait also and not buy the one I was asking about?

    Yes - as the Conroe(Core 2 Duo) chip is VERY powerful and cool running!

    It is based upon the Core Duo found in notebooks but has greater performance.

    The Pentium 4 chips produce alot of heat.The £599 Dell system is stonkingly good value if you need a computer now but I would be inclined to get a system based around the Core 2 Duo chip.

    BTW that deal has been around for a few weeks now! I think it is because Intel are trying to get rid of the old Pentium 4 based Pentium D chips before the Core 2 Duo is fully released that this system is very cheap.

    Some detailed previews of the chip:

    As we thought, just noticed this latest deal for the 5150

    Slightly different from the original deal, but a great starting point!
