Pros: Interactive Web Site outstanding customer service Cons: None
Several weeks ago I began to realize that we needed to become a two-computer family. With that in mind, I knew that I was going to only settle for the best that we could afford for my use, and pass my ancient (two year old) computer to our...
Pros: It's got the latest software and the box is easy to work on... Cons: It's got the latest software and some idiots shouldn't be allowed inside the box!
I resist change. As long as the computer boots up, and I only get the "blue screen of death" once a week or so, I will resist any attempt to purchase new computer parts or upgrades. Basically- I fear The Box. It's frustrating to be an intelligent,...
Pros: Reliable brand, easy to setup and use, high speed Pentium 4 processors Cons: Cheap standard mouse and keyboard
After years of school and dealing with slow, outdated, hand-me-down PCs, it was finally time to upgrade my PC to a state-of-the-art machine... or at least, something close to that. Now, I am blessed with a Dell Dimension 8100 1.3 Gz Pentium 4...
Pros: Blazing Speed, Exceptional Graphics, Solid Quality - Won't fall obsolete any time soon... Cons: Problems with the Sound Card, a bit pricey, Dell Support
Ok, we all know that the way things change in the PC market, this won't be the last PC you'll ever buy. But it should last a VERY long time (and I'm talking years, not months).
Pros: The state-of-art machine spec. The parts are combined with careful selection. Cons: If a computer isn't a durable goods for you, this is pricey.
Probably, I am obsessed with computers and internet. Since the time I often see the ads for Dell Dimension 8100 Series on the side bar, I have been looking for somebody who actually owns this machine. I just wanted to see, touch, try it.
Pros: Highest clockspeed gives you bragging rights Cons: Only affordable by sacrificing component quality
****Update: A few weeks after launch, Dell has added some more options to the Dimension 8100, making it a more attractive package. Top-quality PC800 RDRAM is now available, and it costs only 70 $US to upgrade 128 MB of RAM from PC600 to PC800.
Pros: Huge hard drive, outstanding documentation. Cons: Incompatibility with some common software and hardware peripherals.
I recently acquired a Dell 8100 system with a Pentium 4
1.4 Ghz processor. Although this system has proven to be
generally reliable, there are some curious problems that
I have never encountered before even with much less expensive...
Pros: awesome 3d performance; good looks Cons: not the best overall performer
Skyth's Wet Dream Where do the million bucks Skyth is making from Epinions going? A new Ferrari? A brownstone in the West Village? A visit to the secret Playboy island of busty dumb blondes? I gave those a long consideration, but than ...
Pros: Fast,exceptional case,330 watt power supply,Dell tech support,Dell policies Cons: Windows ME and questions about system speed at 1.4 gigs
I origionally ordered a Dell 4100 P3 1000 with an Nvidia GTS 32 meg DDR video card 196 megs of PC133 ram and a 40 gig ATA 100 hard drive.The computer was great but I took a
good hard look and decided to reorder a Dell 8100 P4 1.4 with 256 megs of...
Pros: reasonable cost, ease of use, case Cons: hidden cost savings, poor performance, deteriorating tech support, needs more SSE2 applications for real speed
Abstract:
The 8100 is more of a marketing coup than a speed demon. For people who need a pre-built P4, it's a decent machine, but be warned that it will be slower than a P3 or Athlon. Dell on-site service is ABYSMAL.
Pros: Pretty case Cons: All hardware that comes standard inside the computer detracts from its pretty case.
I'd like to preface this review with the note that I've never actually used the 8100. I actually ordered one, but after doing additional research, decided it to be a bad idea and canceled the order (after waiting for 2 hours listening to lousy Christmas...
Pros: Great price, decent support, fast delivery, powerful,included software, well organized disks and manuals Cons: shipped with Windows Me, numerous unexplainable crashes, noisy fan, bad floppy drive.
First of all, this computer, I must say, was a great deal for a computer from a major manufacturer with the reputation of Dell. I bought it totally online, with no human interaction, and I paid about $1380 with free shipping and no sales tax. I had to...
Pros: Very fast, plenty of room for extra hardware, easy to set up. Cons: Expensive!!
Hopping onto Dell.com and ordering a computer was a snap. All there was to do was to pick the type of computer i wanted: Cutting Edge, Advanced, or Affordable. From there, I could customize it as i pleased. I decided to go for the "cutting edge" model...
Pros: Dell has raised the bar and thought outside of the beige box. Cons: A couple of improvements might require a glance at the directions.
I have had the good fortune to have several Dell computers. I get technolust every couple of years and the lure of a faster processor is just too much. In the past, I felt like the speed improvement was less noticeable and the rest became nothing more...
Pros: Great performance and capacity. Cons: I still wish I could have paid less.
This was a good time to buy a new computer. With all the price wars going around, it wasn't hard to find a good deal on a good computer. I was able to come up on some loose ends and make the plunge to buy my fourth computer.
Pros: Fast with multimedia, nice design Cons: Pentium 4 chip pricey and not that much faster than Pentium 3 on some apps
Recently the local college where I live received a whole truckload of Dell Dimnesion 8100s to replace the Celeron and Pentium 3 based computers we used in the business computer and web design labs. Almost everyone commented on the sleek black and silver...
Pros: High speed. Good build. Attractive 19" flat screen. Excellent packaging and setup instructions. Cons: Pentium 4 & Windows ME are incompatible. The System is useless for anything serious.
I have been a loyal Dell buyer but my Dimension 8100 at 1.4GHz, attractive in many ways, has been my first serious disappointment from Dell. Most of this is probably not Dell's fault, though some is. The most likely explanation is that the Pentium 4...
Pros: Bleeding edge Pent4, screaming graphics, quality Dell components and assembly. Cons: WinME, WinME, and WinME. This is just not a stable OS.
I knew that going from a five year old Dell PentPro running WinNT to a brand-new Pent4 running WinME I might miss some of clunky sure-footedness of the old machine.
But I had no idea that Dell would ship an OS totally unfit for its hardware....
Pros: A porsche in the world of home computers: fast, powerful and loaded Cons: Software, hardware and support: all the stuff you'd expect Dell to have nailed by now
The mythology of Dell is legendary -- they do a billion dollars of business every day through their web sites, so they've got the end-to-end customer service and support thing nailed. But upon closer inspection, and now two month's worth of experience...
Pros: Looks great, very fast, lots of info on functionality and trouble shooting Cons: Power management problems with Windows Me, horrible service
We chose this system because it was fast, easy to upgrade, had a lot of space, and looked really cool (when we placed the order, the silver ion accents were standard - they've now become a $160 upgrade). Our problems began before we even got the...
Pros: Great looks, highly upgradeable, THX certified speakers Cons: Comes with Windows Millenium OS!!
Being a computer engineer, I have always wanted to own a cutting edge high performance PC. So a few months back I bought a Dell Dimension 8000 series PC with THX certified speakers. Well... the talk was that this was the best among the latest generation...
Pros: Good Customer Support, FAST, Economical, Solid, Durable Cons: Faulty Hard Drives At Times, Lag At Times, Freezes At Times
After purchasing the Gateway Perormance 1500xl series, my mother decided to purchase a 2nd computer to use in a network with the Gateway, and also a laptop. We looked at another Gateway for the job, but they were too expensive. we looked at Pentium III...
If you are looking for a pc above 2grand don’t waste your money on a Pentium 4 right now. As of January 2001 the Pentium 4 does not provide you with great returns for the extreme premium you are going to pay. Why is this? Well it is because none...
Pros: Affordable, easy to use, speed, and amazing graphics. Cons: Not much speed difference between 1.4 Ghz and 1.7 Ghz
After a recommendation from a friend who had previously bought many Dell computers, convinced me enough to buy the new Dell Dimension 8100. Ordering online was not a problem for me. Finding things online was very easy and not a problem at all. The...
Pros: Cost compared to other P4 systems, Support, Good internal component choices. Cons: Bigger, bulkier case when compared to the prior Dells.
The first thing is that there must be something about the computer to justify its purchase. It's a few hundred more than a similarly equipped and lightning-fast P3 1000MHz system, so why spend the extra money?
If you have been recently thinking about buying a computer, i'm sure the name Dell has crossed your path. Dell is a popular runner in the new way to sell computers.
This new way to sell computers I am speaking of consists of 4 basic things:
...
Pros: Fast, good support, expandable... Cons: Can be pricey depending on what you want.
I can officially say that I am a power freak; I also love to be on the cutting edge of technology and that is why after I bought my Inspiron 8000 from Dell, I went back and upgraded my desktop as well. After careful consideration and nearly two months of...
Pros: Looks good. Fast. Decent tech support (sometimes). Cons: Flimsy. Parts are outrageous! Not user servicable.
OK, this may sound a little harsh, but I'm not overly impressed with my $2K "dream machine". It seems I am the minority here, but I just have to say it. I am trying to encourage any would-be buyer to shop long and hard first.
Pros: Large 19" Trinitron Monitor
Incredible digital sound
Numerous Expansion Slots
Four USB Ports Cons: Technical issues with some monitors
On going issues with Santa Cruz sound card
This is my very first Dell Computer. I have been a long time owner of Compaq, but recently felt that their customer service and drive for innovation have fallen behind cross state rival Dell.
I used the dell.com website to custom craft this...
Pros: Pentium 4 Power from today's top PC company Cons: Pricey
I purchased Dell's Dimension 8100 as a replacement for my aging Dimension XPS D300 (a PII 300). The Dimension 8100 is a solid multimedia performer. Coupled with fast Rambus memory and Nvidia's GeForce2 Ultra video card, flight simulations and action...
Pros: Pentium 4, 400mhz Front Side Bus, Ramdac Ram (600-800mhz) Cons: Almost all Dell Parts.
Hello Everyone,
Oh the all awaited Pentium 4. For some time everyone was wondering when the next processor was going to come out from Intel. Even though there are a lot of skeptics about the Pentium 4 but I believe that people just don't...
Pros: GREAT Design, Speed, Support, 1 Year Free MSN Internet Access Cons: No choice of OS, weak fan for long use
Are you looking for the most powerful machine available on the market? Look no further. This well-built Dell Dimension 8100 powerhouse is currently the fastest machine money can buy. Here is a part-by-part breakdown of the system:
Pros: Fast speed; reliable customer service; very upgradeable Cons: Windows software is new so bugs are present
I purchased the Dell Dimension 8100 series desktop in June of 2001. (They are now front-marketing their 8200 series). I am quite satisfied with the new computer and I feel that Dell has a far superior customer service support than any of the other...
Pros: Lightning quick Pentium 4
New PC800 R Ram Cons: Expensive
Sales Department failed to ask questions when ordering....
Being an avid electronic guru I was anxiously awaiting the new Pentium 4's this past year. They were delayed more than once and that day in early December 2000 when I saw Dell was finally accepting orders I was ecstatic! After all, this was to be...
Pros: Very good computer from a reliable company Cons: A little pricey.
The negative epinions I've read about this computer is basically because it's not worth your money (i.e. over $2000). Well, I think it's worth my money because I paid $1700 for it through a special promotion on their website. Basically I got a 1.3...
Pros: Indubidibly the best computer I've ever operated Cons: Windows Millenium Software will frustrate you to the ends of the earth
The Dimension 8100 is the latest and fastest machine currently available from Dell. At its heart lies an Intel 1.5 GHz Pentium 4 processor, the second fastest processor available from Intel (the fastest one now a is 1.7 GHz one). It also has an NVIDIA...
Pros: Fast, Well made computer Cons: A newer, faster computer will come out in 3-6 months
I purchased a new Dell 8100 right before Christmas. This is my sixth PC dating back to the late '80s when I had an old Amstrad 8086 model. My experience has taught me that it is usually best to buy the latest technology you can unless it is outrageously...
Pros: Great looks,Perfomance Cons: Price, but you get what you pay for
This computer is a very stylish computer that delivers what you pay for. I ordered this computer from Dell about one month ago and it came a week later. What a speedy delivery anyway i opened it immediately and the first thing i pulled out was a huge...
Pros: Excellent tech-support, good processor speed, and great monitor. Cons: Performs poorly with Windows ME, and can be very costly.
When the Dell dimension 8100 series computer package arrived upon my doorstep I was ecstatic--that was until I received the bill. This pricey gem is a great performing computer with top of the line components and as always reliable technical support by...
Pros: Fast, came with everything I wanted at a good price. Cons: Windows ME, Tech support hold times don't live up to their legendary status
Let me start by saying that I had to finally replace the old Pentium 133. A Palm Pilot looks fast compared to my old machine. After months of research I finally took the plunge and got A Dell 8100 with the 1.3 Pentium 4 processor.
Pros: Fast and Fun Cons: 2 Major Hardware failures in less than a year. Refurbished parts.
Dell is a company that has cut one too many corners!!!Its hardware is cheap and tech support is awful. I too can read out of a windows error manual! Don't be fooled by that 3 or 4 year warranty. That entitles you to fix your own computer with the help of...
Pros: Speed, performance, looks, value, and ease of use make this an excellent overall package Cons: I have had the computer for 3 months and have no serious complaints
I have been upgrading an upgrading a P-II 400mHz for about 2 years now and ran out of room. The last straw was a CD-ROM rewritable drive that I couldn't get the bugs out of so I started shopping for a computer...
Pros: Outstanding Value for Money, performance, after-sales support is second to none. Cons: Low quality monitors, some niggling unreliability
Having been a user of Dell equipment in the office for some years now, when it came the time to replace my venerable Pentium I system at home, I decided to go for the 8100 series. I opted for the 1.3GHz P4 model, on account of its outstanding value for...
It is very nice to be able to work at home. Whether it is a home based business or a telecommuting job, a home office needs to be put together with the right office equipment. This includes a spacious desk, and allot of tech tools. Allot of valuable...
Pros: Excellent Gaming power, you get your money's worth Cons: The Pentium Four is not yet completely optimized for desktop programs such as Microsoft Office.

I have been shopping around for a new computer so I could turn my old Gateway P3 550 (which I do not recommend) into a Linux Machine running Mandrake 8.0 and have read many reviews about this product with mixed reviews. As in everything in life,...
Let me start out by saying that the Dell Dimension 8100 series is EXCELLENT. When I first opened up the box I was impressed with the stylish case. After that I had the computer out of the box and running in minutes. It was simple to use and very...
Pros: Nice look, decent price. Cons: Not as powerful as it's made out to be.
Despite the brand name, the seemingly fair price, and the bonus deals the Dell offers, Dell's best desktop series, the 8100, is not worth the money. In purchasing this system you will likely spend around $2000. With Dell's constant use of special offers...
Pros: Easy to set up and use.Powerful system. Cons: EXPENSIVE
Well, after my nightmare with Gateway (see that opinion from me too if interested), I decided to try Dell. It had gotten excellent reviews, and I wanted a company that was reputable and stands behind their products.
Here's what I got:
Pentium...
Pros: Rock-solid, robust platform; outstanding technical support Cons: Not nearly as fast as one would expect from a 1.4 GHz CPU
Dell's 8100 series may be a good machine, but it seems to be a little ahead of its own time. Existing operating and application systems do not seem to run any faster on this 1.4 GHz platform than on my old 550 MHz Pentium III. I've read that it may be...
In mid-December I realized that it was time to upgrade my 300 MHZ, 64 MB RAM, Pentium 2 system. I had heard great things about Dell so I decided that it would be a good idea to buy a computer from them.
I ordered a Dimension 8100 Series Computer...
Pros: High tech look in a black and silver box with Dell's name stand behind it. Cons: P4 suppose run faster, but it is about the same as the P3. Sometime slower!!!
I got the Dell 8100 about six months ago, when it got to my house, I was excited and wasted no time put the computer together and powered up the 8100 to see this cutting edge masterpiece works. I must admit that Dell's instruction to connect the...
Pros: Ease of use, fast, upgradable, durable, high quality computing Cons: Costly
"Don't tell me about it. I don't care. PC stands for 'PIECE OF CR*P'" That was my mantra. I was a Macintosh person and I would die a Macintosh person. Well, I am still breathing and my iMac is in the basement. It was time to upgrade and reality...
I wanted to get a good computer before I went off to college. I wanted a computer to play games and download songs off the Internet with it. I wanted a Pentium 4 because they are really fast, 1.3 ghz!!! You can get up to 1.5 ghz, but you have to pay...
Pros: Good speed, user friendly and very top of the line! Cons: It freezes occasionally

This is actually my third Dell over the years. Whenever I've had to buy a new computer, I have done research and I always end up going with Dell for the excellent systems that they offer. In addition, Dell's technical support is much better than any of...
Pros: High performance, excellent components, attractive design Cons: support ratings are overstated
Get the Right Version of Windows
The Dell 8100 is an excellent PC and running Windows 2000 enhances it's value. Windows 2000 is Microsofts most stable version of Windows and has lots of nice customizable features.
Pros: Fast, Lots of preloaded stuff, fast. Cons: Flimsy power button, first sound card was dead.
I've waited a couple of months before writing this one to make sure that I had time to get the kinks worked out, and to give all the parts a chance to burn-in (or burn up!). Except for a faulty sound card shipped with the machine, I'm very happy.
...
Pros: THIS COMPUTER LOOKS GREAT,AND IS THE FASTEST IV'E EVER SEEN AND USED. Cons: A LITTLE EXPENSIVE,BUT DEFINITELY WORTH IT.
To start out my computer is the new Dell 8100 series Pentium 4 1700 mhz.It has 256 pc800 ram,a 60 gb hard drive,dvd and cd-rw drives,Santa Cruz Turtle Beach sound card,32mb Radeon graphics card,a U.S. Robotics modem,and Altec Lansing speakers with...

Pros: Fast, stylin' colors, and reliable support Cons: Some bugs are in all computers.
I recently purchased an 8100 Series with the 1.7 Ghz processor and 17" trinitron monitor. Buying from dell is great they continuously update you on the status of your order. It arrived by UPS well before the original delivery date. The entire process...
Pros: Attractive, get alot for the money, great service. Cons: Mail order.
With much anticipation I recently recieved my dell dimension 8100, and I couldn't be more pleased. This thing flies from one application to another. I purchased the standard 128 rdram at 600,and I have never known it to get bogged down. I purchased...
Pros: Speed, modern look Cons: Long holding time for support
I've had my Dell Dimension 8100 for almost 2 months now. The price for the system was pretty steep, however this was my second computer. In my mind I was thinking, should I spend less money on a slower, not as advanced system, OR, pay a little bit more...
Pros: Very nice looking! Cons: LAME performance...
Instead of boring you with the usual slander of Dell computers, I will direct you to a website that will sum up the performance of this "ba-a-a-a-a-a".
Pros: Great performance, New technology, Slew of features, sleek design Cons: Expensive ram upgrade, questionable Pentium 4 technology?
I mainly use this machine for games, graphic design, and making movies. This is an extremely fast machine; however, that's expected from a $2600 setup. I'm upgrading from a AMD with a CPU of 200 mhz/win95/30 gig hd/12x burner; my new machine runs...
Pros: The Dell name and support. Looks nice too. Cons: Quite expensive and Difficult to upgrade. Also has heat problems.
Original Review
A couple of months ago, I bought a new PC. I've had my 400Mhz PII for a while now and simply wanted a new PC. I immediatly turned to Dell who, in my opinion, make the best computers (but sadly not the cheapest). 5 days later...
Pros: Nice to look at, easy to run (Most of the time) great CS. Cons: Some glitches
After a bad incident with Compusa, I was a bit leary of ordering a computer online. DELL has restored my faith in on-line computer shopping! I ordered this computer on-line, complete with Customer Support and tech suggestions (Not that I needed help,...
Pros: Fast, Good Looks, Affordability Cons: Speakers
Yes! I finally got my Dell Dimension 8100! This computer is an upgrade from a Dell Latitude which served my needs well but was outdated and took up a lot of space on my desktop because of all the extra peripherals that I had added throughout the years....
I recently purchased a Dell Dimension 8100 (1500 MHz). Since I use it primarily as an Autocad workstation, I'm very picky about the system I use. This computer has several advantages.
First of all, the price is right. Needless to say, it's an...
Pros: Pentium 4 processor,40GB HD,NIC for broadband net connection Cons: a few crashes
The DELL 8100 is a good computer for people looking for a powerful computer to play high end games,broadband internet,high end business/scientific applications.The 8100 i got has:
Pros: Great Speed. Easy to install. Finally got out of the vanilla box Cons: Tech Support has been deteriorated. Must buy expensive RDRAM to beef up RAM.
I purchased two 8100 models (one for work in Dec. 2000 and the other for home in June.) Part of my job requires a computer with heavy computing power, therefore I am generally happy about my choice.
After switching on the power to my new Dell Dimension 8100, I knew that I was in love. The sheer power and speed blew me away. Audio and video would never be the same. Complete with the new Windows Media Player, anyone could listen to their favorite...
Pros: fast, reliable, great tech support, sleek look Cons: components not interchangeable
Dell had been recommended by several friends and co-workers and now I know why! I was able to build a computer to suit my specific needs and order right from the website.
The computer was extremely simple to set up, mainly because the box included a...
Pros: Powerful, fast, easy to use, lodes of software, good looking Cons: My old non-USB devices are limited on the new USB platforms
First off, I bought this machine on Dell's refurbished page and paid a lot less than buying a configured machine (P4-1.5Ghz $1150 versus $2300... I would recommend doing this). The machine arrived, I opened it up, hooked up the cables and everything...
Pros: extremely fast and sleek design Cons: windows Me
The Dell 8100 is the only way to go. After researching different desktop computer for about two month I took the plunge when Intel dropped the price of the P4. For a modest 1600 dollars I received a Pentium 4 running at 1.7 ghz with 128 rdram. Dell was...
Pros: Nice Case, High Speed performance Cons: Needs upgrades to run at full potential
With the Dell 8100 series you'll be purchasing a quality machine at a great price. Especially if you take advantage of one of Dell's always changing special offers.

User friendly programming and tutorials supplied by DELL.

Mutli-tasking is a snap: burn a CD while on the internet, create a birthday card while burning a CD, listening to music while...
Pros: Nice looking case, good performance with new OS. Cons: Windows Millenium Edition (Windows ME), the shipping, high cost and Dell as a whole.
I bought this computer because I was told by everyone who owned a Dell that they are the best. So for about 3 months I looked into it and just left it at that. Then one day I just went ahead and ordered one. It was pretty much your basic 8100...
Pros: Cutting Edge Technology at a good price Cons: Bad tech support and varying system performance
Well I was optimistic when my cousin bought the system and as the family guru when it comes to computers I was the one in charge of making it run flawlessly. Well it's been about 2 months with the computer and lets say I am 50/50 about its performance....
Pros: A true Powermachine Cons: As technology advances, new and better computers will come out
Pentium 4. Wow. This is the ultimate gaming machine. Great sound, amazing graphics, and unbelievable speed combine to form the best computer ever. The price isn't too bad either, for such a new machine, 2000 bucks. It's worth it. The computer caused me...
I am no novice to the computer desktop world having owned numerous systems including four other dell desktops. I was excited when I saw the specs on the Dimension 8100 so despite not really needing it, I opted to purchase it just to see what this "baby...
Pros: awesome. "Dell", need I say more? Cons: didn't come with firewire
My Dell 8100 is actually a refurbished model, 1.6 Ghz P4, 384 RDRAM, 40gig HD, all the basic stuff. It runs like tha wind! I have had no trouble with this computer (except when I tried to burn a CD in my CR-Rom drive)since I first purchased it. I had...
Pros: Rambus RAM standard, really fast, looks cool, easy to use, easy to open Cons: sometimes have no control over computer
THis computer has everything! Its way faster than the dimension 4100. What's great is rambus ram and a pentium 4 is standard! Plus, you can get a free cdrw drive for a limited time. A don't like the lame speakers that much though. The mouse is terrible...
Pros: Great looking,price,features, Tech support (if you get the right person) Cons: Floppy Disk opening is brutal
I have owned this system for 8 months now and have had no major problems as of yet (knock on wood!) My only real complaint is with the diskette drive (which I rarely use). It is very hard to remove diskettes from it and they often get jammed and...
Pros: Powerful,Good-Looking,Tech Support Cons: Pricey
This computer has it all. It is powerful, easy to use, and is backed by the best computer developer in the world. Dell has established itself in the computer market and this computer proves their success. It starts with their web site. I customized this...
Pros: Ease of use and setup. Operates smoothly. Fast processor. Cons: Cost
It took less than one week from the time I ordered my system to its arrival. The customer service person was great, and even advised on what NOT to waste our money on during purchase. Our first computer was a Compaq, and when it stopped working for...
This is one desktop that has it all. Dell delivers the best price on the market. I am a computer engineer and am personally responsible for purchasing hundreds of thousands dollars of computer equipment every year. I choose Dell, and the Dell...
Pros: Super fast, great harmon-kardon speakers, outstanding graphics Cons: technology isn't quite where it needs to be
The Dell Dimension 8100 is a great computer to some extent. The pentium 4 is fast, but I don't see a whole lot of difference between it and more recent P3's or aflons. I realize it is new and will need some tweaking, but I expected more from the P4's...
Pros: Fair Price, A Very Fast Processor - Great for Multimedia Tasks. Cons: No Noticeable Processor Speed Improvement While Surfing The Net.
The New "Dell Dimension 8100 Series / Pentium 4, Processor 1.4 GHz is a very good overall buy in todays' very competitive PC market place. My particular model had a price tag of approximately $2289.00. The system hardware consist of 128MB of RDRAM, US...
Pros: Speed... Monitor.. Fast Shipping and awesome graphics Cons: Price..
Great support (except for the hold time)
Overall a great system.. I had a problem with 2 drivers intervening each other with my lan card and my modem but that was fixed and now even on windows ME i can get uptimes of 2 days+ Wohoo ! I recommend it...
Pros: price, quality, pentium 4, quiet keyboard, easy to use, etc. Cons: none at all!
As most of you know, Dell has become incredibly popular in the past couple of years. I read in Technology Today that Dell is the best computer for it's price. Why spend so much on a computer and not be happy with it? Is what I asked myself, and then...
I must say that in the past, I have loved Dell. I guess this was because I never really looked around at my other options. Nationally advertised computer company must have a good price correct? WRONG. When I purchased my other Dell computer a few years...
Pros: Once you are online, you have great speed and it is reliable. Cons: Windows ME is super slow loading
The Dell 8100 with the backside cache is a great computer. It has eliminated the problems I had with AOL locking up on me when using both a 56K modem and a DSL. I type very fast and answer a lot of questions online, so the backside cache allows the...
Pros: Increased system BUS speed for external devices like cameras. Cons: Windows ME
It was nice that Dell financed my computer although I don't think I would have purchased as many bells and whistles had they not. Hmm? I purchased their digital camera which isn't bad for $200 (actually they say $199) The CD-RW was thrown in for free....
