|
| 5/20/2010 1:50:12 PM | do not know when purchased; the pc disconnects from the network (maybe the ether cord); it locks up; it runs slow sometimes if doing searches |
|

|
| 5/17/2009 12:57:05 AM | It's a good, general-purpose machine without a lot of processing power. However, it has too little memory and cannot be expanded. |
|
| 12/2/2009 8:20:38 PM | it's ok could do with some additional speed |
|
| 10/23/2009 9:22:03 AM | keeps saying virtual memory low |
|
| 1/7/2010 9:24:34 PM | I know it is old, therefore it is slow. Probably not much I can do about that. |
|
| 8/3/2010 12:11:24 PM | It will not open my files. It also shuts off and then restarts from time to time wether I am reading my e-mail or something else. |
|
| 9/11/2009 5:15:24 PM | This computer was purchased in 2001. Although I have had several problems with it, I have maintained and upgraded ir to make it perform to my satisfaction. |
|
| 3/20/2010 5:13:48 PM | it"s anolder model, its ok just runs real slow. I hope this tune pu fixes that. |
|

|
| 12/26/2009 2:25:36 PM | I know it is old, therefore it is slow. Probably not much I can do about that. |
|
| 5/7/2009 3:14:12 PM | The reinstall of windows disc win xp or vista, (2-3 times in a 3 month period) is there a computer know problem for this, or human mistakes ? |
|
| 8/27/2010 3:09:58 PM | This computer takes forever to go from program to program, move from Internet to Email etc. We were prepared to go buy a new computer when a salesman at Comp USA suggested the PC Tune-Up 2.0 as a solution. |
|
| 3/25/2010 1:44:56 PM | cpu usage frequently at 100% |
|
| 5/6/2010 1:37:47 PM | this computer isnt the best to begin with but performance got noticably worse within 30 minutes of use |

|
| 6/15/2011 4:56:43 PM | Runs slow. Not sure how much memory there is. |
|
| 12/13/2010 7:28:13 AM | I store lots of photos and mostly use internet for email. Main criteria is word processing. Long as speed, net protection and storage are in tact I'm satisfied with computer. |
|
| 5/28/2010 12:23:27 AM | This one is an old one but works fine for what I do with it. |
|
| 3/1/2011 7:21:44 PM | i cant say anything because i havenot use the computer |
|
| 1/27/2012 12:38:10 PM | Well..... It's OK I guess. Not really wanting to purchase new system. I hate the way all the new OS software is like the tail wagging the dog. |

|
| 4/16/2010 10:00:00 PM | This is an older model with only a 20gb hard drive as you can tell. I had a newer model with a 500 GB hard drive so I am used to speed. However the 500 GB crashed for some reason. This was in storage so I started using it. I can't see very well so using a laptop is out of the question. SO, if this can be configered with the latest "stuff" for this model, I will be satisfied. |
|
| 9/1/2009 1:17:05 PM | on the plus side, it was a freebie. On the other hand, it's a Dell.. |
