I have a 6 month old dimension 3000, with hyper threading enabled which has recently seemed to be getting slower and slower to access the hard drives. The obvious things, to me at least have been done, i.e. virus guard up to date and it has been checked with updated spybot for other...

Probably shouldn't post this since it will probably quickly degrade into a "Dell sucks" thread, but here goes.... We just got shipments of 32 GX270 minitowers and they all came with the CDs for WinXP (w/SP2) and the CD/DVD software.. They were ordered through the Small Business...

Hello Im thinking of getting a new dell for gaming. If I separately buy a fancy video card, will they still fit in AGP slot on new dells bypassing the onboard video? MY XPS 400 from 1997 has had all the upgrades Im going to give it and it might be time for a new gamer. Thanks

FWIW, I saw this discussed at Slashdot. It talks about video path protection coming to Longhorn and the potential implications of not having an HDCP display. http://www.engadget.com/entry/1234000143050582/

I recently got a "retired" Dell through my workplace. P-4 1.6 Ghz, 20 GB HD, 17" monitor -- GREAT price. Problem is it came loaded with Win 2000 Pro, license/product key provided but no software disk. I'm not sure what is involved in making a copy of the OS from the computer or if it is even...

The right hand LED is constantly flashing 4 yellow flashes, followed by a green flash. This is happening all the time, independent of mains/battery power. Does anyone know what this means?

As announced on this link: http://www.pcworld.com/news/article/0,aid,121836,00.asp Dell says it shut down most of its nontechnical message boards on July 8 in order to streamline service to customers seeking after-purchase help. Please someone explain to me how shutting down a message board...

It seems odd Dell hasn't made a nice Tablet PC yet. I am aware they are a niche system, but there are a good number into them and buy new when something nice comes out. Anything in the rumor mill about a Dell Tablet? TIA Dean

Greetings--- I have a 600M about 5 mos. old. Runs XP Home. When I try to burn something to the CD, when I right click, and choose "Send To", there is no option to send the file to the CD drive. And yes, that is an option that is supposed to be there. I "can" send it to Record Now, but for some...

....or just a rubbish website. Example (including their spelling mistake!): "This week cool summer deal! Dimension 5100 + Free Delivery £341 Price inc. VAT and Delivery (£70 savings Included) Offer ends 20/07/2005" "Cool!" thought I!

I thought I had this fixed, but I messed it up again. I have a Inspiron 600m with a Intel Mini PC wireless card that has very slow ping times when pinged. If I ping my desktop (through a wireless router), the ping times are 5-8ms. If I ping the Laptop from the hard wired desktop, they...
