One question, If I did go with the Dell XPS 9000, would there be any problems in the future because the 12gb is at 1066 and the processor is i7 975? Also so far that is the best that Dell offers right now and I might have to ask this question again next year because I decided that I wont be building or Buying a new PC until next year and the technology can improve dramatically and if not it will still improve. So far Im leaning towards building a PC since It will save me money and I could make it faster then dell has to offer for less money.
