General Comments
I have had my Dell 8300 Since Sept 2005 and it was about 1 year old when I got it. Since then I have installed the following Upgrades:
Ram to 3gb, Graphics card to a 128 Nvidia. replaced all 3 of my IDE/ATA hard drives with one 750GB Samsung SATA. Installed XP Pro , it came with XP home. Installed an LG DVD/RW
Apart from driver issues which I solved by joining Driver Update Pro, I can say it was a very good buy.
