    Default Home computer arrangment

    I don't know if any of you have this arrangement, but here we do.
    In order to keep updated on IT, employees in many businesses can get a home computer and get a tax reduction. That is if the equipment does not cost more than 10 080 NoK ($1733 / €1219)

    Our company has an agreement with a large supplier of IT and phones.
    I can get a computer that will be deducted from my gross paycheck i.e before taxes.

    Currently they offer this desktop:
    HP Pavilion m9367
    Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300
    4 GB DDR2 (800 mhz) RAM
    1 TB HDD SATA 7200 rpm (2x500)
    Nvidia GF9800GT 1GB 2xDVI/HDMI
    Gigabit LAN, 802.11 a/b/g/n Wlan
    Blu-Ray player + SuperMulti DVD burner with Lightscribe
    Pocket Media Drive 160GB external storage
    15 in 1 memory stick reader
    Vista Home Premium 64bit
    It comes with a 3 year warranty , 3 year insurance and Office 2007.

    Would you get it?

    nVidia plus Vista, no way MTW would run on that!

    I concur with drone: If it wasn't for Vista and the Nvidia card, absolutely.

    As it is, however, no way in hell.

    If you can wait until GoodOldGames makes MTW Vista compatible I'd get it, the graphics card isn't exactly a top choice but pretty potent(basically the 9800GT is a renamed 8800GT...) and if you sort of get it cheaper anyway, then why not?

    Hm if MTW is a concern then the 9800GT causes same problems as the 8800 IIRC

    Are they getting the license to do this?

    I started in jest, but I guess Sigurd wants real feedback. What is the computer going to be used for mainly?

    No Vista. Have it upgraded to XP Pro before you regret.
