You are so full of it!!!
Please give of the model of systems you are talking about?
Oh and in the spirit of these boards its not cool of you to come in here as a sales person and start pimping yourself out!!!!
VERY UNCOOL
Maybe he is talking about XPS systems and basing this on one his friend has vs his...
We have 100's of GX270, GX280's and GX620's, pretty much all have the exact same hardware across the line up (I think all foxconn motherboards).
If this was not the case most of true corporate enterprise would be screwed with images of desktops.
At a University I worked for we had the basic same lineup as above plus a few 240's and 260's, the motherboards were the same brand but sometimes different chipsets or some other different onboard hardware across the same model. It was very annoying.
Now I am at a place where I can recommend the brand to go with but the supervisor stills looks at bottom end price and Dell beats them, even though I don't like them. We previously were using HP Workstations which are hell of alot better than the Dell
Optiplexs but the price point can't be beat.
BTW everywhere I've worked I've had to RMA Dell parts on brand new out of the box machines that were up less than a week, the HP Workstations are P4's and I just had to make a few RMA's on PS's. Screw Dell's quality and their RMA process. I can't get a part easily without wasting at least 15-20mins, I can shoot HP an email with Model and Serial and the broken part, I will have one within a day or two. I don't have to talk to some non english speaking book reading idiot. Same goes for when comparing to IBM/Lenovo support, I get to talk to an English speaking person, usually from the south and can get the problems fixed ASAP.
