|
| 5/29/2009 2:14:41 PM | I don't play any games. I'm a retired computer programmer, 46 years in the business. I have 2 computers and they are old by todays standard, but they do meet my needs. I will probably update to win 7 , but with a new laptop computer. I enjoy your email reports. |

|
| 4/27/2010 11:14:40 AM | The Dell desk top has a Pentium 4 processor and the motherboard has above average of card slots and hard drive bays. It is able to be upgraded efficiently and reacts well. |
|

|
| 11/30/2009 12:52:36 PM | I Don't Back Up (20%, 1,171 Votes) |
|
| 12/8/2009 6:39:48 PM | I've been very happy with my Dell DIM4400 since I purchased it February 2002 and would probably purchase a Dell the next time I'm shopping for a new computer. |

|

|
| 11/1/2010 12:40:45 AM | Needs to be reformated, but I forgot how and can't afford to have someone do it, so I put up with it's irritations. It has been a great computer with very few problems! I'd reccomend a Dell anytime and plan to get a new on as soon as the budget allows! |

|
| 2/26/2011 3:22:02 PM | Hard drive is very full, only 18G. Cannot figure out how to get rid of unnecessary stuff |
|
| 5/18/2010 7:47:44 PM | It's too slow |
|
| 11/19/2009 11:48:12 AM | internet shuts down frequently, or just shuts down at&t browser. |

| 1/16/2010 7:54:04 PM | longtime to load in computer |
|
| 3/9/2011 9:31:39 PM | purchased new, moved several times...still working |
|
| 9/23/2009 4:19:33 PM | After replacing, well, nearly ALL of the hardware, I turned a piece of crap into a pretty decent machine. I rather like it, and have no real desire to replace it anytime soon. |
|
| 1/5/2010 8:23:29 AM | It seems to "bog" down periodically and improves performance upon rebooting. That's an aggravation |
|
| 4/28/2010 12:44:37 PM | Installed programs and web based games run slowly graphically. |
|
| 9/15/2010 8:03:14 PM | Except as it has gotten older is is so much slower. Many times ends in no response |
|
| 11/6/2009 12:13:40 PM | It is a Dell that I rebuilt and upgraded myself. |
|
| 12/31/2009 3:24:58 PM | Very slow, hangs up several times a week, get Low Virtual Memory errors often. |
|
| 12/29/2009 12:15:58 AM | It seems to be getting slow to start and to repond |
|
| 1/7/2010 6:33:30 PM | It still works... |
|
| 6/8/2011 10:10:21 PM | cannot afford a newer one I'm OK with it being a little slow. |
|
| 9/4/2010 5:04:58 AM | It work but it respones slow, w/ long delays |
|
| 12/10/2009 1:12:28 AM | it was top of the line when I bought it and it does what I need now; not to say I don't want a new dule core. |
|
| 12/9/2009 1:00:57 PM | It is 8 years old and I need to replace it. It cannot run any games made past 2006. It is adequate for Web access and applicatins I use now, although slower that I prefer. |
|
| 12/9/2009 12:59:37 PM | I need more memory |
|
| 12/9/2009 10:30:04 PM | It's getting a little old but I'm not quite ready to replace it. |
|
| 8/19/2010 8:47:29 AM | It's about 8 years old, so "satisfaction" is relative and it's performance is, obviously, not not up to present standards. |
|
| 1/2/2012 1:22:41 PM | we shall see |
|
| 5/13/2010 3:58:48 PM | I Love a Dell but needs to be faster.. |
|
| 10/31/2009 9:46:44 AM | Performance is generally acceptable for its age and technoligy. Storage capacity may need to be upgraded to eleminate the need for external hard drives |
|
| 4/14/2010 12:45:10 AM | This questionnaire page is a bunch of crap, the person who decided to put this in here is a dick, and I should be able to skip it. But I'm a bigger dick for buying this shit, so there you go. Then again, the person who put this page on here is still a bigger dick than I am for buying this crap, he just still has the 30 bucks or whatever I blew on this nonsense, and I don't. |
|
| 10/13/2009 11:08:29 PM | Responds slowly, boots up slowly. |

|
| 3/27/2012 10:02:10 PM | Web pages loading slowly. Getting error messages when PC boots up. |
|
| 9/8/2010 7:25:00 PM | Only thing I can't do . Is upgrade some parts. Because od the motherboard. |

|
| 7/31/2010 7:57:48 AM | It has been running very slow and I am unhappy with the performance. I hope this tune up will improve the speed. |
|
| 5/7/2009 4:42:28 PM | The computer always seems to be doing something in the background and has been slowere than usual for the past couple of months. |
|
| 5/9/2009 6:38:21 AM | This computer crashed today & after much grief I was finally able to "re-do" the darn thing. I am not able to put McAffee I run internet through comcast and they provide the full suite for free) due to supposedly not enough memory. I ran it before the crash, but now I see that even though I have the required memory (it shows 71% free space) but only small amounts of memory. During the "re-do" I accidently added two names to the original "sign-on, but deleted it during an attempt to fix it. The last time I shut down the computer, it seems to take much longer to come back on than it did before I deleted the other name. I'm lost! |
|
| 12/6/2011 8:27:39 PM | Only issue is it is old and slow |
|
| 10/5/2010 2:42:45 AM | FOR THE MOST PART, I AM SATISFIED WITH THE PERFORMANCE OF THIS COMPUTER, CONSIDERING ITS AGE. I HAVE A CABLE CONNECTION THAT PROVIDES ME WITH UP TO 13 MBPS DOWNLOAD AND UP TO 9900 KBPS UPLOAD. ACCORDING TO MY PC PITSTOP OPTIMIZE 3.0 (I THINK THIS IS THE RIGHT INFO). I VISITED THE SITE TODAY DUE TO A SIGNIFICANT DROP IN MY CONNECTION SPEED. NOT KNOWING IF IT WAS MY PROVIDER HAVING PERFORMANCE ISSUES OR MY COMP. THANKS. |
|
| 4/25/2011 11:08:37 AM | very satisfied |
|
| 3/8/2011 4:35:33 PM | speed |
|
| 5/24/2011 9:23:39 PM | Has Malware |
|
| 5/12/2009 11:45:12 AM | very slow |
|
| 9/28/2009 11:33:56 PM | It is slowing down on all levels: boot, windows, internet. I think it is due to accumulation on hard drive C:. I am trying to find out if it is worth putting in a 2nd hard drive and moving all my Documents files to it and deleting them from drive C:, but I don't know if this would slow down or make it difficult to access the new hard drive or if I can make it the default for Documents. |
|
| 6/24/2011 2:53:18 PM | To be as old and outdated as it is, it serves my needs fine. |
|
| 12/31/2010 11:13:30 PM | I LIKE THIS PROGRAM |
|
| 5/25/2009 8:11:53 PM | Windows XP OS has been reinstalled at least twice, and the present install is only about 6 months old. |
|
| 7/24/2009 1:42:51 AM | just an old computer, do our best to keep it stable |
|
| 5/21/2009 5:47:11 AM | Perhaps its because of newer software versions, but programs that used to run smoothly don't seem to be any more. A lot of videos are jerky, which could be because the players are more bloated, or my latest antivirus is a pig (sbamsvc.exe). The computer has been great, I was pushing the envelope with it doing video editing with Pinnacle v9, am scared to use a higher version. |
|
| 5/24/2011 4:08:14 PM | It's old, but does what I want it to do. |
|
| 11/11/2010 7:07:16 PM | I don't get a constant indication when I am loading the internet and, as result sometimes load several copies of the software at the same time. |
|
| 10/9/2010 11:34:16 AM | Very rarely slows to the point of needing to reboot. |
|
| 12/6/2010 7:53:30 PM | It sometimes locks up and I have to shut it off or turn off the power to get it back to reboot. |
|
| 6/30/2011 2:57:03 AM | satisfied, until I can afford a new one. |
