DELL DIMENSION 2400 slow as .......2007-03-06

I brought one of these 3 years ago. After installing sp2 this computer was slower than the Windows 95, pentium 100 I used to have( I know Windows xp is more powerfull than Windows 95,I am using this example to show the speed in releation to something else). I had a computer with like this one, 256 MB of 333MHz SD DDR RAM, 40GB hard drive and a better Intel(R) Celeron(R) 2.4Ghz cpu with 128K L2 Cache. This computer crashes a lot and you would always have your hands on the keys Ctrl-Alt-Del.The reason for this as I read is because of the low quality cpu in this model named Intel(r) Celeron(r) Northwood(r). This cpu only has a very limited anount of cache giving you very bad perfomance. You are likely to get better perfomance from a Pentium 3 in some cases. Also this computer has a intregated 64MB standard graphics card with no AGP slot, so you cannot upgrade to a dedicated graphics card. Even if you upgrade this computer with 1GB of RAM this will not work well with Windows Vista that well. Also a lack of a AGP port will disable you from Windows AERO ui. This is a very poor perfomance computer especially in 2007. I would recomend paying a bit more for a celeron d cpu or go with the craze of dual core machines. Intel(R) Pentium(R) D is really cheap and you get very good performance from it- I am using one now. If you are buying this I would recomend that you expand your RAM to 1GB.

THE DIE HARD CPU........2007-02-08

I give this CPU a 5* Rating because.....

6 Years ago I bought this CPU and i have never hade a single prob wit it.
Ive neva had to call Coustermer Support.
And today FEB 7 2007 12:53PM as i right this Review i am useing the same CPU.
In my Words This CPU neva DIEs.
The only Upgrade ive gotten 4 it is 256 MB more RAM thats it.
So finally in my words i say this is the Best,longest lasting CPU out there.

Never buy a Dell..........2006-10-30

I purchased a brand new Dell from the manufacturer. Boy, was that a mistake! It worked great for a couple of months, then it started to reboot by itself over and over and over and over... It would take sometimes up to 1 hour of rebooting before it would come up. So we thought, we had a virus and fried the hard drive. When it came time to reinstall windows, we found out Dell sent the wrong disk. After about 30 minutes on hold with "John" who had an Indian accent, we got Dell to mail out the right disk. A couple of days later, we got it, only to find out that it didn't have all the drives necessary to go on the internet or run certain important Windows software. So we had to download them from the internet (good thing we had another computer to do that with). Everything was great for... oh for about 1 week, when it started up again... we could not turn off the computer without it rebooting itself again and again and again and again......... We called Dell, "Martha" who .. surprise! had an Indian accent couldn't help. Shocking, I know! This brand and their customer service is the most useless, worthless I've ever seen. Stay away from Dell no matter what. Oh yeah... the problem was never fixed.

Dell has gone to *ell.......2006-10-27

Dude, don't buy a Dell. I bought Dell's years ago and they purred along for years. When I upgraded the computers in my office this time, I bought Dells - against the advice of my computer consultant.

When they came, they didn't work. I bought the deluxe service package - the one where they come on site if they need to. Here's how that works:

1. If you call, 3 of 4 times you're on hold for 15 minutes, then there is a click and you're disconnected. 45 minutes on hold, then someone picks up the receiver and hangs up on you. If you call 40 times this will happen 30 of the 40.

2. Once you get them, they will say it's a software problem and it's not their responsibility - call Microsoft. If you call Microsoft, they tell you that, since you bought it from Dell, they are the reseller, and you need to deal with them on all operating system issues.

3. You call back to Dell, and they try to sell you more support and refuse to address the issue (after hanging up on you three times first).

4. I finally called Geeks on Call - they looked at the machines - said it was a 'bad build' and that it was a Dell problem. I paid another $500 to them to get the machines running.

5. I asked Dell for the money back for the service contract - they refuse.

What would I do without this?.......2005-09-06

I bought this desktop model about a year ago and since then things have been great. I use it all the time, for everything. I use it to apply for jobs, order books online, write stories, draw pictures, download songs, chat online, you name it. I use it more than anything else in the house.
I ordered this model by phone and it took about 20 minutes. I asked for virus protection, a CD burner, Microsoft word, and a few other things. I got everything I wanted for a little over 700 bucks.
I still have a dial-up connection so my internet is super-slow. Everything else seems to move fast though. The computer doesn't take very long to start up once I turn it on, and it rarely freezes on me.
Microsoft Picture It! and a trial version of Animation Shop 3 were included on the computer without my knowledge, so that was nice. Even better, my DVD player was somehow able to play a DVD I bought all the way from England. Unfortunately I haven't had much success with some older CDs that I try to play.
The only complaint I have is with regards to the free inkjet color printer that came with my deal. It drains ink very quickly. Also, it started getting clogs and as a result began printing smudges and streaks across my papers, making them difficult to read. It was free though so I can't complain. Nevertheless, I had to get rid of it, and replace it with an old black and white laser printer that's still reliable; an HP Laserjet 6L. I hope it can keep holding out for a while.
If you get this computer, get high speed internet, and purchase a decent printer, you're all set to do whatever you want. I highly recommend this computer.
