| BDodge60's Full Review: IBM NetVista S40 legacy-free |
I've been using this computer at my job for the past 3 weeks, and have been very impressed with the reliability it has. It's a very fast pentium III, that runs at 733MHz, it comes with 128MB of RAM, but my computer has been upgraded to 256MB. It comes in a very sleek looking black case, and the tower itself is very small, which makes it Convenient to put on a desk.
The one I received came preloaded with Windows 2000, and was extremely easy to set up onto the network at work. It has been very reliable, It hasn't crashed on me at all since I've been using it, which is pretty much 50+ hours a week.
My one complaint so far is the lack of expandability, like I said the case is very small which makes adding components much more difficult, you'll need to find one that will be short enough to fit, and it only has a one PCI slot left when I got it. To make up for the loss of interior space, they do give you 4 usb ports, but 2 of those are used for the mouse and keyboard. These computers are not good home computers, but they are excellent if you have a network.
