Whoa you've been at this for a full month. I was right!
No, I changed the way I was going about selecting a system/components. I elected to find out the minimums for the software I'll be running. I'm not waiting for the newest technology.

Yes, but doing the search time, I've learned a ton that I didn't know before. I'm glad I've done it. In doing so, I've also come to grips with knowing that $750 was/is an unreasonably low ceiling for what I'd like to have.
True... you'll know enough so next time you'll just buy a pre-built right from the get-go

Will be returning the Dell laptop in favor of this piece o' crap for $425 shipped/taxed: http://slickdeals.net/forums/showthread.php?t=1808751 I may even get some BCB.

Now I know the previous laptop had a better processor, yaddada, but I don't need anything fancy in a laptop. And since I've never had a laptop, I have never had to make due with a keyboard sans a ten-key. The Lenovo has the numeric pad.
