Dell Reliable? by
Robert243
I have been running a Dell XPs T 700r since October 99 (7 years) with no
problems. It's on 98% of the time. Needless to say, I back-up regularly.
Curious on what the average life of a system is or if anyone has one been
running one longer.

Need New PC recommendations/info by
Dan
I'm looking for a PC w/at least a 3.4Mhz processor, 1
Gig RAM, 128 Meg Vid. RAM and 80 gig hard drive. A 2nd 10k RPM 80 gig
HD would be nice but I think it'd be cheaper to by that on aftermarket
& install it. I'd also want a 17 or 18" LCD. I'm looking to spend
$1400ish.
The machine will be used...

Quick tips to PARTITION new laptop? by
Whelan
I recently purchased a Dell Inspiron 8500 for my son. Now he's home between
college terms and ready to move over to it. But we both think we should
partition the hard drive before installing much. It is 60 gb. (I think we'll
divide it APPROX. 15 GB for C, 15 GB for programs and games, and 30 GB...

into a surge protector. I tried to put and old power supply from an old

laptop with 2 hard drives? by

Do any of the Dell laptops provide 2 bays for
hard drives like the desktops do? (I'm looking

OT-- do I really need to upgrade my IE 6.0?? by
MB_
I have IE 6.x at home and IE 7.0 at work. I prefer IE to Firefox and I do
NOT want to use IE 8.0 at this time.
But I also prefer the look and feel of IE 6.x compared to 7.0.
However, I have also heard that I should upgrade to at least IE 7.0 for
security reasons.
Is this true? I still always...

I just bought DELL Inspiron with Windows XP pre-installed. But I want
to install Windows 2000 instead and get rid of Windows XP. Is it ok to
do that? What will be the drawbacks? What if I want to restore back to
Windows XP later? There is no recovery CD in the package, but just

Acronis Utility Exposes Contents of Your Entire Hard Drive by
Ted Zieglar
"Who knows what further details of not only your directory structure it may
be exposing, but maybe the entire contents of the files inside those
directories?"
Shouldn't you find out first, before making accusations (and cross-posting
them.) And what does this have to do with Dell?

Why no more parallel ports on Dell desktops? by
Bruno
Seems that Dell has phased out parallel ports on the Desktop PCs. The
4700 is gone now, and the 5100 and 9100 are unencumbered by parallel
ports (and other things).
I called Dell today to ask and they basically told me I should just
buy a new printer too, because my printer will probably not work...

Dell Quality by
Lucky[_2_]
I just received a replacement wireless mouse and keyboard for units that
failed to work properly.
My God, the lack of quality is appalling. The only thing that properly
describes them is cheaply made and even more cheap in appearance.
Fortunately, this computer will not get hard use, because,...

Dell "Service" Question by
Tom Enright
I bought a Dell E510 about two months ago. About a week ago
my DVD/CD R/W drive gave-out. No power seems to be getting
to the device, it's just dead. I have contacted Dell Service several
times but have received zero response.
My question, as you guys seem to have a lot of experience with

Rebate class action suite by

I waited 8 weeks for a $100 rebate check. I called, they said to wait
another month and call again. On Nov. 10th, I made that call and they
said they would send another check in two weeks but in the meantime
if check #351 came, not to cash it because it had been canceled.
Sure enough, 4 days...

Swapping Partitions by
MJMIII[_2_]
XPS/Dimension 630i.
This came with a 600GB HDD and I added a 1.5TB HDD. The 600 came with Vista
and I created a 100GB partition on the 1.5TB for Windows 7. I now want to
place 7 on the 600GB and move Vista to the 100GB partition. I've imaged
both the 600GB and 100GB separately using Acronis. ...
