12/17/2011 10:21:46 AM Never had any problems with this machine. It is a work horse for sure, I use this machine for video processing and the longest I have had this thing pegged out at 100% was 18 hours straight, but most of the time it is just for 3 to 4 hours at a time and that has been done over 400 times in its life. Still works great.

3/26/2011 2:18:31 PM This computer was given to me by a family member. Although I enjoy it, at times I wish it had more DDR RAM and would run faster. I have a high speed internet connection that doesn't move as fast as it should do to this computer.

4/22/2011 2:41:52 PM My only remark is that I know I am filling up its free disc space, and have been resorting to downloading many things now onto flash drives. As for the question below, "Does this computer run slowly?' That's pretty relative -- it's lightyears faster than a computer in the house that I try never to use. But it is slower than the computer my step-sons use that have 6GBs of RAM. So what's the answer: Yes or No? I'll choose 'Yes,' I guess.
