I have some really nice stuff and I decided to add another machine, I just bought a HP DV7 4179nr it has a Phenom-2 x4 cpu with 6GB DDR3 ram and I added a Corsair 128GB SSD. The Video card is a ATI 5470 and it seems to do a great job thus far. It also has the Beats Audio but there is no driver for the built in Sub woofer in linux but its not a problem because I use a external sound system. I would reccomend this machine to anyone who wants a little more performance and the price is right. I got mine for for just a little over 700 bucks wich is nothing compared to the high cost of machines using the i7 or i5 right now. So i thought I would share this info with my friends here. I also elected to install 2.8 on this machine as I was having issues with DeVeDe in other releases. I will most certainly install 3.0 as soon as its ready no doubt........
