Finally decided I need a decent new desktop instead of my laptop.
Decided on on a new i5 based instead of i7. Based on a discussion here the difference seems to be the addition of hyperthreading. But with a quad core chip, I dont see the need to pay an addition $150.
Planning to buy a whitebox desktop from ComputerLx. Seems to have good reviews and one of the best prices. Planning for i5 quad core 2500K, 16 GB, 1 TB disk, Windows 7 64 Bit and add a dual boot with Fedora.
Dual boot with Windows 7 seem relatively straightforward and similar to XP
