    Dell Deminsion 4600, P4, 2GHz,DDR w 19" Gateway FPD 1960 monitor,80-GB HD, XP-Pro, 256MB Geforce FX-5500 8xAGP video card, Cr-RW Drive, DVdcd/rw drive. $200.00

    Should I buy? I am an average daily computer user, no intense gaming. Just general use. It has XP-Pro with the option of installing a copy of Vista. THIS COMPUTER IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE, so there is no point in continuing this thread. Thank you to all. 4-3-2007

    Has a few weak spots, such as:
    Vista installed, very sub par for that OS.
    8g HDD.
    Price is good (IMHO) & the weak parts are easily upgraded.
    Will this come with Vista Certificate of Authenticity (COA) lic. key?
    if not insist on xp pro w/ Certificate of Authenticity (COA) lic. key,
    then I'd call it a good deal.

    G'Luck!

    What :confused: ?

    Anyway, the hard drive is very, very small, even for a normal user. Otherwise, it seems okay.

    BTW, it's impossible to have Vista on an 8gb hard drive :( .

    Did I misunderstand "Win:Vista"?

    Yeah, it uses almost 15GB of space. XP rocks :)

    I think he meant 8GB DVD instead of DHD. That doesn't make much sense either, but I think it is more likely than an 8GB HD.
  7. SOcRatEs TechSpot Paladin

    Hello SNGX1275..
    That does make more sense...

    i think he hit the '-' key instead of the '0' so i think its a 80GB hd

    a bit on the small side.

    For a day to day system $200 is a good price.

    Needs some major upgrades. CPU is slow, small amount of memory, bad videocard, and worst of all it has Vista.
  10. cfitzarl TechSpot Chancellor

    Hey...:mad:...:)D)....I have Vista :haha: !

    Yes, I would agree with MetalX.
  11. AtK SpAdE TechSpot Chancellor

    But what is the intended use? Home PCs dont need a good video card, or CPU, and with the 19" monitor I would say it is a good deal.

    But I am totally with you with the Vista thing.
