Thankfully, if your laziness precludes you from getting out of that easy chair, you can still order over the phone as well.

you play significantly less for AMD than you do for Intel. AMD is not being out performed so much that its worth the price difference. then again if you are seriously considering buying a Dell you probably aren't too concerned about paying more than you have too.
