I was thinking of getting the T6000 ($1299)...

AMD Athlon 64 3200+ chip
512MB of 400MHz RAM (DDR SDRAM)
160GB Hard Drive
ATI Radeon 9600 w/ 128MB
CD Burner
DVD-ROM
seven USB
8 in 1 memory card reader
2 IEEE 1394 or FireWire ports

Does this sound like a good machine compared to HP, Sony, Compaq? Price seems right, but what about quality, stability?

Computer to be used mostly for AutoCAD and some games.

If I was to upgrade to XP Pro (already have upgrade CD - bought when XP first came out), would there be any problems w/ drivers, etc. Warranty be void?

Thanks
Robert
