No, I don't think their is anything wrong with either of them. They are both built with quality components. Neither is inherently better or worse since they use the same components. It is a question of possibly asking too much of the hardware and developing problems because of it.

For juan:
Yeah I know the price is different, but I was listing similar viable (maybe, but they were other possibilities) options.

For Sailor 420:
Compaq had major problems with the Willamette P4's when they switched from the 850 chipset (Workstation) to the 845 chipset (Home PC market). I have no idea why they didn't work as well, But they were not nearly as stable and reliable as the original P4's using the 850 chipsets.

I have a pet theory but it is pure speculation. Hopefully someone can prove me wrong. But i digress, so here it goes. I think they had a problem with the custom bios interfacing between hardware and software.
