NY, NY Lines: 19 my SO is looking at getting an IBM PC compatible for a non-profit organization she runs. She is looking to spend about $2500 for h/w and s/w. I know this has been asked twenty-six zillion times already BUT: -Anyone have any experience with SWC or MAXXUM brand computers? SWC (software city) comes with a 2 year warranty; MAXXUM (47st photo) comes with a 1 year warranty. How reliable? Compatible? etc -She needs >512kram, >10 meg harddisk, VGA color, dbase3/4 or similiar, printer. She has a PLUS hardcard that might be the 10 meg hardcard...anyone know of weird problems plugging it into a nonblue machine? -Any other tips/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
