Whatever you buy I would get the 3 yr. extended warranty.

I wouldn't buy Toshiba, HP or Compaq. It you want to step up from Gateway buy a Lenovo.

I also would recomend buying direct from the factory. I waited for a sale and got $200 off. I almost ordered online but it's a good thing I didn't. I called and the sales person saw that I was a repeat customer and knocked another $125 off. Total savings was $325. Also by buying direct, they send you all the software.
Thanks -- I don't have an issue with Vista, it's what I have currently. I've had horrible issues with my current HP computer, so I'm definitely avoiding them.

Supposedly 64-bit is all right? I don't know. I've tried researching it but it's kind of confusing.

Anyway, thanks for the advice!
