Good Points

Strong PC from Dell. Great, fast 3 ghz CPU. Multithreading. HyperThreading. DDR RAM so huge throughput.


Bad Points

Main C:\ drive, a Maxtor 250 gig SATA, has had to be replaced twice in 3 years. Maxtor 250 drive does not appear to be one of their stronger hard drives. My other experiences with Maxtor over the years has been good otherwise.


General Comments

I love this PC. Have had it over 3 years, upgraded the Ram to 3 GB, Hard Disk space to 1 TB, and replaced the 2 crashed Maxtor drives (the only repairs I have had to do in 40 months). That is IT in 3 years plus ownership. Very dependable, reliable machine.

The speed of the processor has held up, it is still pretty fast by current standards, and is a heck of a machine for its age. I use it for home office, digital photography, music, and videos, and it seems to keep running strong. One well built quality machine, knock on wood.
