|
| 5/23/2010 12:49:48 PM | it just take so long to boot up to do anything on it. |
|
| 3/31/2011 7:43:05 AM | Reinstalling this on new operating system. Very good product. |
|
| 3/30/2010 12:32:09 PM | This system has worked very well for me for almost eight years. The only issue I have is the RAM which for some reason is very expensive for this unit. |
|
| 3/10/2011 10:11:30 PM | Very satisfied |
|
| 9/11/2009 3:45:21 PM | This PC is networked to my new mini Acer Aspire One 11.6. I am loving it! Renee |

|
| 6/11/2012 11:02:29 AM | Running into intermittent black/blue screens of death, from which I have so far been able to recover from. |
|
| 10/24/2009 7:50:51 PM | I believe it needs more memory, but I have been unble to get it |
|
| 8/15/2010 10:31:05 PM | Slow start-up and searching the web. |

| 5/10/2009 4:34:12 PM | Good old computer. Giant video card. |
|
| 4/23/2010 4:54:13 PM | It's a Dell - Have been very satisfied with it since day one. What I really like is the technical support that dell has, they are always very helpful and always works out the problem. The hardware itself I have never had any big problems just needed some speed. |
|
| 9/14/2010 4:53:44 PM | this computer has been a reliable workhorse and reasonably fast gaming computer for 8 years now. I upgraded the sound card and videocard, and other than being incompatible with some newer games, I feel it is hard to beat. FYI: I had a little problem for a while with malware and viruses, but Threatfire has eliminated ALL problems of that nature. Thank you. |

|
| 2/10/2011 4:08:49 PM | This unit is a refurb from a local computer shop. They installed this software and according to the records, is due to be renewed. It has been performing as well as I expected it to do but if this software increases the speed and cleans up some junk, I'm all for it. |
|
| 3/17/2010 8:32:33 PM | Slowness in speed is getting worse. May need replacing when sufficient funds are available |

|
| 5/26/2010 9:06:53 AM | It seems MS IE8 locks up periodically. The CA Internet security suite's firewall and scanning are consistent in not flagging detectable viruses and spyware lately. I'm testing the RAM connectors now. Thanks for any automated help in PC Tune-Up to address |
|
| 9/8/2010 2:51:05 AM | it's old and outdated |

|
| 6/22/2010 4:28:48 PM | the ibky thing i don't like is the fact that it was buikt with such expensive, hard to get ram. I know i need more ram, but if I can;t get it at a very reasonable(cheap) price, I will get a new system. Period. This no longer my main PC, so I am not desperate, but I will be purchasing one in 3-6 months. |

|
| 4/10/2010 8:06:14 PM | My computer was fine until I let a friend try to validate my e-mail program. I believe she added Malwarebytes. It has been acting strange and running/opening very slowly ever since. |

|
| 8/7/2010 10:59:15 PM | This computer has slowed down over time. I need to find out if this is because of programs now in use. or if there is just a setting or tweek that needs to be done to get it back to what it used to do for us. |
|
| 2/20/2010 5:54:31 PM | Takes too long to boot up Takes too long to switch between applications |
|

|
| 8/10/2010 7:43:24 PM | It is a very old computer that will naturally degrade over the years with multiple install and unistall of applications. I have re-installed Windows XP three or four years ago. My hope is that this program will work well enough I do not have to do this re-install again |
|
| 8/5/2010 2:51:36 PM | I would like it to move a little faster. |
|
| 2/19/2010 11:13:23 AM | After 8 years this computer is still working well. |
|

|
| 5/18/2009 4:29:05 PM | Considering it's almost ten years old, it does the job. It was great in the beginng, now it is so slow. However, Windows 7 running on a sepaerate drive, runs much faster. XP on the main drive is slothful. And I even reinstalled the os. |

| 9/11/2009 10:51:10 PM | I've had it for years, so of course I realise it isn't the best machine out there. However, it's only recently (within the past couple days) that it's been running extremely slow. I was really sure why this was. I regularly defragment my drive. I regularly delete my temporary files. I regularly scan for malware and viruses. Really, there's no reason that I can think for it to be running slow. |
