Go to the factory outlet and you'd get an XP2 for that price...
I got the 6000 with 128 mb x300 FOR 560

Totally agree with Muppetkiller there. Generally, I hate DELL but the factory outlet prices especially can be damn good...

Picked up an Inspiron 9100 myself, 3 months back for 1250.

3.2Ghz HT CPU, 1GB of RAM, 60GB HD, ATI 9700 128MB and the best bit: a WUXGA screen that runs at 1920 x 1200... Absolute class in 3DS Max BTW - very easy to have the main app and tutorials/help files open side by side.
