Personally, I recommend Dell's current offering highly if you avoid
the NVidia graphics options.
I recently had to pick a new Dell machine for work (which hasn't arrived yet),
and had to choose between getting an AMD processor, ECC memory, and ATI
video card, no Windows OS and a reasonable price. I ended up only getting
the ECC memory and the ATI video card.
With ATI providing the specs for their video cards, perhaps there will be
more configirutions where they are an option in the future when buying
from Dell.
If you buy an AMD CPU equipped computer from DELL, beware that DELL does
NOT support AMD CPU features in its BIOS.
AMD-V is not supported
AMD Cool and Quiet is not supported
AMD CPU controls such as single CPU is not supported.
Very frustrating that they did not update their BIOS for AMD based systems.
