I was pleasantly surprised by Dell's service. 1st time dealing directly with them, usually I buy through IT Show one of those exhibition deals.

Trade the gfx card with 1024MB NVIDIA (R) GeForce (R) GT220 add S$150. Dell quite flexible, the more I look at the XPS Desktop the more I like it. Thanks guys.
Appreciate all the responses.

I think if you want desktop PC, for me i would prefer to build one myself. Can customise. However if u want hassle free and go for warranties, i think just get one from Harvey Norman or some other big stores. But do note that the specs are lower than the ones you build yourself and the price are at a premium because of the warranty.
I can give you recommendations if u need my help!
I like the macbook pro 13 inch one.. looks really nice!
Cheers!

Wow nice stuff. Dell's service is really top notch.:thumbsup: i wouldn't recommend getting the "so called" better gfx card and paying $150 for it. Get an ATI card, they're architecture is superior currently to nvidia:bsmilie: and buy it seperately(sim lim). you can get a much better one for around the same price as if you upgrade to a GTX220. lol...
I don't play games on pc and really prefer to have from same vendor to keep the warranty intact.
It’s 7200 rpm 16M cache.

Hits a slight snag, the 1024MB NVIDIA (R) GeForce (R) GT220, was told cannot support HDMI, so Dell now recommends 1024MB ATI(R) Radeon(TM) HD 4870 add S$254.66

This is realy confusing, one Dell agent tells me can another tells me cannot... search the website and 1024MB NVIDIA (R) GeForce (R) GT220 shows a HDMI port. Now, I have feeling that the last agent was trying to under-cut the 1st agent to get the sale. Really cut-throat this pc business.

Nvidia worked with Adobe to accelerate Photoshop. You may get speed ups on ATI, but my guess is, CS4 is more optimised for NVIDIA cards. http://www.nvidia.com/object/adobe_photoshop.html
(Note, I don't have CS4... just heard about this)
