I think it is particularly good when it come to playing HIGH graphical games because I play the sims 2 on it and I think it works wonderfully, because its got high sound and ... Read review

Advantages: Cheap, simple to use
Disadvantages: Lack of power, poor expansion

...recently. This is where the Dell shows it's downside. As simple as it is, it provides very little workability for advanced users. After looking into the problem and attempting many fixes, I had no luck solving the problem - I could still watch no videos. The only solution would be to reinstall the operating system - something that is tricky on this computer, as no install disk is provided! I eventually resorted to acquiring my own install disk, ...
...the lack of expansion options. There are no true graphics slots (AGP or PCI-E), so the best dedicated graphics card I could fit was the nVidia 6200 PCI. This is a very basic card and does not allow games with advanced graphics to be played, which was a problem for me. There are no extra slots for further hard drives either. Overall, the system is very good for a basic user, particularly for families who require a simple, relatively cheap personal ... Read review

Advantages: easily configurable (Dell website)
Disadvantages: Lousy monitor, average processor

...this machine (as with most dell computers). Dell's Web site offers a wide choice of options to suit your every need. If speed is important to you I suggest you configure this machine with a faster processor. However, the extra cost associated with a better processor will only be worthwhile if it is definitely required. If the machine is only intended for home use (email, online shopping, general surfing etc.) the processor already provided will be ... Read review

Advantages: Powerful and relatively cheap
Disadvantages: It's a computer

...We are talking about the Dell Dimension 5150c Desktop Computer. And there's the rub! Anyone who has bought a Dell computer will know that they are essentially custom ordered and bought. There is not a standard Dimension 5150c. You phone the nice man/woman in Mumbai and the battle commences. They try and sell you the top spec version and you try and resist. That said, the Dimension 5150c is really only the basic tower design and all specs, monitors, ...
...to your initial negotiation with Dell apart from a few standards: Mine came with Windows XP home edition. I have enquired, and all future orders will come with Vista, of course. It comes with the usual Dell 15 month MacAfee virus zapping software. It comes with CD/DVD burning software. I bought a TFT 19" flat screen monitor but there is a 24" version available. That's a big face. The manual leaves something to be desired. However the online manual ... Read review
