Dell Dimension 8100 Series

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...

Pros: It lets nothing to be desired
Cons: none

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...

Pros: Good Features...
Cons: HORRIBLE PRICE

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....

Pros: extremely fast, good monitor, good speakers
Cons: graphics cards can be hard to identify, tech support confusing, expensive

This is definitely not a computer for people just wanting to buy something cheap but good. This is for either programmers, serious gamers, people who just want a wicked fast computer. This computer really is that fast at 1.4 ghz it's only topped by the...

Pros: Very fast processor!
Cons: Had to wipe the hard drive after we got it.

We got our Dell 8100 computer a few months back and have been very satisfied with it! When we first got it we did wipe the hard drive, as we were getting a lot of errors. The way they had set it up at the plant was causing a lot of trouble. Once we got...
