The Absolute BEST!

Written: Feb 15 '01
  • User Rating: Excellent
  • Ease of Use:
  • Quality of Tech Support:
Pros:Unbelieveable performance, great package, Unbeatable price!
Cons:Absolutely NONE!
The Bottom Line: If you want a system that will do 120% of what you want it to, be it games or other, this system cannot be beaten, especially for $1269...

I can say with all honesty I am 100% astounded on the quality of this computer, and the company the made it.
I placed an order for a 1Ghz Dell Dimension 4100 on a Friday evening, and it was delivered on Tuesday at 9:00 am. WOW! Anyways, for the system, I had it shipped w/ 64MB of memory, and purchased an additional 256MB from Crucial. This brought the system to 320MB, with a 1Ghz processor.

I put in a Voodoo5 5500, which is a 64MB card, and proceeded to see just what this system could do...

I was blown away by this machine! I was pushing it to the limits, opening up multiple programs and doing memory hogging apps like Photoshop, all at the same time and the Dell didn't flinch. I tried running nothing but Explorer and SYSTRAY, and loaded up some intense 3D games, and they all were fantastic.
Then I would try just keeping those running, and would boot up other programs, and It was still ROCK SOLID!

The system came with Windows ME, and has been great... It's basically Win98SE with some nice perks and speed increases. All the problems have been generally fixed, and I haven't run into one problem.

I would HIGHLY recommend that you upgrade to the 19" M991 monitor like I did, as the performance is fantastic, with a sharp image and a stylish case.
Here are the Specs:
PIII 1Ghz
320MB RAM pc133
20GB Hard drive (7200 rpm)
SB Live! value
19" monitor

This System SCREAMS!

I got all this high-end performance for $1,269, and I added $100 for the extra 256MB of ram for Crucial, and that Brought my total to $1369 SHIPPED!
I cannot find a better deal ANYWHERE.

I have since added an additional casefan, to further increase performance.

This IS the best systemI have found, with superior performance, at an unbeatable price.
Dell is constantly running specials, like a free CD-RW or DVD-ROM, so keep an eye out...
Thanks for reading!
