aptiva series
Review of IBM Aptiva 2158 - K6-2 450 MHz - 17" CRT by
watty52
Advantages: Ease of use and ease of initial setup
Disadvantages: could maybe be better with a real pentium in it - but I don't really know without changing it
...the purchase - Comet or IBM - I did have to have my printer replaced a Xerox xj6 with a cannon BJC2100 but that could be another op somewhere else sometime. The machine I bought has a Pentium 3 lookalike installed as standard and is fast enough for everthing I do which is mainly word processing and internet use with some paint and draw applications mainly design of proformas for work use. ...

Presario 5221 ROCKS!!!!!!!!
Review of Compaq Presario 5221 - K6-2 380 MHz by
spoonyspice
Advantages: good to look and has got the latest features
Disadvantages: no disadvantages as such
COMPAQ by its name alone. This recent launch of the compaq company is gathered with the most recent features. Its good looking and the main plus of compaq PC's are that its got the facility of attaching the speakers to the monitors side, giving it a very nice look again. As being the user of a compaq PC and being used compaq laptops, i would sugest anyone to go for the same. It has got all recent features and is very easy to install it yourself. ...

I told them It was under warranty and I agree with the equipment it is okay, but the service should not be so high, but they straight away refused to reduce the cost of services.

Compaq pc just for me
Review of Compaq Presario 5240 - K6-2 400 MHz by
dingoo
Advantages: uptodate, cdr/rw, p4,80 gig drive
Disadvantages: grey colour
I have just invested in a new pc for myself at home.
It is 20 times more pwerfull then the one i first bought in 1998, and will probably be only half as good as the next generation or step up the technolgy ladder in 6 months time.
The pc I bought has an 17" screen didnt want bigger as it wouldnt fit on my desk.
The presario is a mini tower, which I think is quite small from what I am used to.
It has an AMD K6-2 @ 400mhz processor which I am told ... ...is 80giga bytes ( I wish now i'd got bigger).
This i believe may be just a bit to small for making my pc last a while i may need to upgrade in the near future.
I got nvida graphics software and dvd utilities and windows office 2000 to supplement my needs.
It has 64meg of ram expandable to 384meg (why you would need to I'm not sure.
The pc also has great sound and graphics cards I now use my pc to watch dvds and listen to music in beter quality ...

Review of IBM NetVista A40i 2284 - Duron 600 MHz by
crizo
Advantages: Really improved with extra RAM
Disadvantages: music jumps with connection.
...my 128 MB of Kingston IBM RAM arrived.. I must admit, installign the RAM was a tad fiddly as I had to fit it under the 3.5" drives where the RAM slots were located. After a few minutes of fiddlign it went in, and I startd up and..
WOW!! I is really running VERY well now! The doubling of the RAM has a MAJOR effect on the system. Now I can have Photoshop 6, Fireworks 4, Flash and Dreamweaver open at the same time with no porblems!!
