Well, as of now I prefer MACs (Than you for making me hate M$ even more ALIENWARE!!) but since you want a PC, I'd go with the P4.

The P4 is *currently* the "bnest" PC Chip available, the Athlon WAS bettetr, about a year ago! AMD got lazy and the new AThlons bench slower than the P4's, so go for the P4. As far as the Celeron goes, you're beter off just keeping the P2, I've seen 486 Doorstops that run better than some Celerons, and the Celeron is just a cheap-@$$ version of the P4 or whatever the latest "Petium" chip available is, (when the P3 was out it was a crappy P3), so don't even bother with it. You'l wind up upgrading in about 6 months, not 3 years with the Celeron, with the P4, I'd say you can go for 3 years befoer a major overhaul, with a MAC you can go fro about 10 years before you have any "real" problems, and as far as M$ Office, gioes, tkae the copy form your old C and 'Transfer" it to the new one, I don'rt care if you piurate it, because Offic SuXP sucks like a pile of horse-dung! It's ugly, clunky, and crashes more than office 2K, avoid paying $500+ for a new, Crappyier copy of office, and just buy a PC with extra stuff in the box, and put your old copy of offic eon it, or buy a Mac.

Now if anyone would like to give me an iBook for Christmas, you knw where to find me....
