Hail Roland, nice to 'meet' you again.
Thanks for giving me such a detailed answer. I do think I agree with you on almost every point.
Nevertheless I think the real high-end pc with each and every of its components being the best you can virtually buy, does in fact cost a fair amount more than the little weaker mid-high-end pc.
For example:
......................750$ for - 2,4 GHz, 256 MB Ram, NVidia GeForce 4 Ti 4200 (64MB), 80 GB Hard Drive, Windows XP.
....................1500$ for - 3,06 GHz, 512 MB Ram, ATI Radeon 9700 Pro (128MB), 120 GB Hard Drive, Windows XP+Microsoft Office.
Quite an expensive step. I'd rather buy the 'middle class' of computing and save some money.
As to what concerns the rest of your post: Yup - you're right.
PS: I didn't compare monitors, because I think one really can use the old monitor of the old pc, and often does so.
......It was a pleasure to read your post. Thank you very well.
Greetings, Fragbait
