Review of IBM eServer xSeries 236 8841

aptiva series

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.

Review of IBM Aptiva E 2158

IBM PC 300GL easy to upgrade

Advantages: Interchangeable processors
Disadvantages: Its a desktop

The IBM PC 300GL was origionaly made for the business sector. The higher spec machine similar to the 300GL was the 300PL which some had AGP graphics and LAN comunications support. This was the lower spec of the two machines but still there wasn't alot of difference. If you wanted to have better graphics or LAN support you could fit a PCI graphics card or an extra LAN card. Many motherboards of this spec had at least 4 PCI slots and for this machine ...
...look on the Intel / IBM website for a motherboard manual. Another thing was that missing AGP slot. I couldn't play the games i wanted. The better spec 300PL had the AGP slot and a better graphics card could boost my gaming performance. My machine came with Windows 98 but i soon upgraded to Windows XP and it could handle it very well especially fitted with a Pentium 3. Overall quite a good package. ...

Review of IBM PC 300 GL 6275

Strange kettle of fish but an ideal second PC

Advantages: Minute, basic PC functionallity
Disadvantages: Limited performance especially in BBC iPlayer

The Acer Revo R3600 is a slightly odd kettle of fish and in some ways is a solution looking for a problem! The original desktop PC configuration; Base unit, wired keyboard and mouse, and a monitor hasn’t changed much in 25 years – unless you count putting the base unit on it’s side! A number of notable exceptions have been to create the ‘all in one PC’ which unite the processor and display – most notably the original iMac in the 1990s – Sony dabbled ...
...you may already have. Acer have responded to this by taking a sideways look and coming up with the ‘nettop’ PC. In terms of hardware, it owes rather more to the currently very trendy ultra-portable ‘mini PC’s known as ‘netbooks’ – except this one does away with the built in keyboard mouse and screen. Why? – good question! Well; the reason is often staring you in the face every day in the living room! The astonishingly quick adoption of relatively ...
