Review of HP Workstation xw4600 - Core 2 Duo E6850 3 GHz by Pykeechaineee

Advantages: Good
Disadvantages: None

Workstations are funny things, really. Defined as a step above a run-of-the-mill desktop PC and a step below a server, the workstation niche has seen prices creep down ever so slightly over the past few years. As with everything in computer-land, prices just keep on falling as the equipment keeps getting more powerful. (For those of you who aren' t grizzled old fogies in the world of computer science, workstations are usually set apart from regular ... Read review

Dell Dimension 2400
Review of Dell Dimension 2400 - P4 2.8 GHz - 17" CRT by hoong143

Advantages: cool and stylish design, reliable
Disadvantages: CRT monitor spoiled after 3 years, performance is slow after 5 years

I bought this Dell Dimension 2400 in year 2003, I have been using it for more than five years. The price is reasonable, and the specifications are considered quite good back to five years ago. I like the design of the system, it's all black and quite stylish, even the keyboard and mouse are black too. I should say the keyboard is very nice to use, easy to type, as I have been using until now without any problems with any keys. It comes with Intel ...

Advantages: complete spec
Disadvantages: none

Nice setup. Lots of processing power and future performance expansion, since full speed isn't realized with existing configuration. Graphics and sound capability much better than I expected, can actually play some games out of the box. Couldn't build a system for less money. Cons: 32bit OS on 64bit hardware. Though, that may be more to do with ensuring stability, and if so, I'm OK with that. Speed is useless without stability. BACKUP and RECOVERY ...
...users files. Which means you will lose all your installed software if the harddrive crashes. Reinstalling dozens of programs and patches / updates is not my idea of a good backup plan. Other Thoughts: The Vista Home Premium?? addition has a Windows Backup program which only stores categories of user data. It does not create a backup image and doesn't even create a backup of application files. Which means if your harddrive crashes, you will have ... Read review
