[AccessD] OT: Compaq vs. Dell

John

I Quote


Compaq now HP and are very good. Dell also very good and server support is
good - at least here.

He says there is little in it and it really comes down to price and support
required. Dell patches and software upgrades have been 100% with some
problems with Compaq

Dell works out slightly cheaper in the long term as you are not working with
a reseller. His judgement based on the support we get is to go with Dell.
