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.

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!! It is working ... Read review

...built XPS 420 directly from Dell which contains a 2.40GHz Quad Core processor, 4GB RAM, an Nvidia GeForce 9800GT, and all the other good stuff a computer needs. I ordered it late night on a Sunday, and I had it setup and working by the Thursday. Best of all? Shipping was free!

Advantages: double proccessor, never overheats, very quiet, selection of grpahics cards, enclosed in silver casing
Disadvantages: none

Bothe DVD and optional blue ray disc drives are hidden making it look plain which also makes it look very neat and tidy. The Dual Core processor is capable of much more than it seems. All though Core 2 duo would be much better, the PC is able to ...
...that the 1.4Ghz is doubled meaning that the total output is actually a big 2.8Ghz! (reliable source - My dad who works for an IT buisness as a programer). There is also a selection of graphics cards to choose with this proccessor if bought online from dell. This computer makes little noise and is very quiet compared with my mums Packard Bell computer which has only a Pentium D proccessor. There are no disadvantages to this computer so far and I ...
