My office is getting new Gateway GP7-800's. I'm on a Gateway GP7-450. Because I always want the latest toys, I want one of the newer machines. :) But I fought so hard and so long to get a CD cutter in this one that I don't want to give that up. Also I can see that if I have a machine that's TOO fast, I'll get a false sense of loading times so a slower machine might actually be better. Is there any reason I should fight to get the 800mhz machine? I do a lot of high-end multimedia stuff...web pages, graphics, Toolbook projects, etc. Is that justification enough? Thanks in advance.
